hi,
the possibilities are gastritis, regurgitation of food, haitus hernia etc,
you can try antacids, changing position, keeping two pillows behind head etc to relieve this symptoms,
but rarely there could be possibilities like heart problems also,
so if you are getting symptoms recurrently and severely better to consult doctor early.
take care.
