Hello,
It is typical of gastritis.
As a first line management, you can take antacids like Omeprazole or Pantoprazole for symptomatic relief.
If symptoms persist you can consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy.
Avoid spicy foods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
