Yes, likely you have GERD. Some medications can exacerbate this condition because it may the esophageal sphincter loose or you may have a hiatal hernia. You should see your doctor for this condition but try anti reflux measures in the meantime: 1-do not lie down within 2 hours after a meal, especially dinner 2-raise the head of your bed up with 2 bricks each side 3-pay attn to symptoms and foods.

Yes, suggestive of reflux among others. Starting with your PCP would be best in order to have a plan put together. Keep a log of your symptoms, food and drinks ingested.

Agree with Drs. P and L. If you are overweight, losing weight is imperative for controlling gastric acid reflux. It would be prudent to consult a GI specialist.
