Brief Answer:
Esophagitis most likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Thank you for asking HCM.

I have gone through your query. Your problem can be due to esophagitis. This can occur in those who are using alcohol and cigerettes regularly. In long standing cases there is risk barett's esophagus and cancer.

Initially this can be managed by proton pump inhibitors like rabeprazole and motility enhancers. You should avoid smoking and alcohol also. You should also avoid spicy and irritating foods. Taking chewable vitamin c will be also helpful.

But if there is no improvement then better to get a consultation with a gastroenterologist and esophagoscopy if necessary.

Hope this may help you. Let me know if anything not clear.
Thanks.
