Reflux?: I wonder if this might be a symptoms of what we call GERD or gastroesophageal reflux disease. It is where contents from the stomach make their way back into the esophagus. You could try using over the counter acid reflux medicine like ranitidine or omeprazole for 2-3 weeks and see if it makes any change. If it helps use for 2-3 months then stop and see what happens. If it does not help see doc
