Hello,
It may be due to severe gastritis arising out of acid reflux.
As of now, you can take antacids like omeprazole or pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist 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.
