Think you have made the diagnosis yourself. Stress, anxiety increases acid production in some and GERD. Try elevating the feet at the head of your bed on 8 in blocks. Gravity never sleeps. Especially if you have “water brash”. Look it up.

Heartburn is a likely explanation. If you are overweight, it is imperative that you lose weight both to avoid acid reflux and to improve your heart health.
