Hello,
Most probably it is due to severe gastritis secondary to acid reflux.
As a first line management you can take antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole.
If symptoms persists better to consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
