What you described is consistent with gastro-esophageal reflux. If it persists it can damage the food pipe and lungs. If you are overweight, losing weight is imperative. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs.
