Answers:
It really sounds like you have Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease or GERD!.
A ring of muscle at the bottom of the esophagus called a sphincter closes off the opening between the esophagus & stomach when you aren't eating, but when you have GERD the muscle relaxes & allows acid and stomach contents to back up causing heartburn!.
Doctors don't know what causes the muscles to relax, but things that make it worse are smoking, alcohol, fatty foods, chocolate, onions, garlic, caffeine, large meals, eating right before bed, and obesity!.
Making changes to avoid these and taking over the counter antacids should be tried before seeing a doctor for a prescription medication!.
