You may have GERD, too much acid in diet, or from medications your taking. Seek a PCP, or a gastroenterologist for consultation. This is not a dental problem.

Bad breath can be caused by many different factors, including sinus infections, periodontal problems, smoking, cavities, acid reflux, and your diet. Address all of these possibilities with your dentist and physician, and I'm confident that your problem will at least be minimized, and hopefully eradicated.
