Reflux: The symptoms you describe are consistant with reflux, or stomach acid leaking up into esophagus. Upper GI imaging can be helpful, until you see your doctor elevating the head of your bed, bedtime antacids such as Gaviscon, and otc meds such as Nexium may help. Stopping smoking and weight loss can also help.
