Brief Answer:
GERD.

Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney.
I understand your concern.
Your symptoms are suggestive of Gastro Esophageal Reflux disease (GERD).
I would advise you to get Upper GI Endoscopy done during which a biopsy would be taken and will be tested for h.pylori infection.
If h.pylori infection is found then you would be treated for that.
I would advise following:
1. To take a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone.
2. To take soft, bland diet.
3. Not to take any Pain killers.
4. Avoid smoking and alcohol in case you consume them.
I hope it helps.
If you have any further query, please ask me.
