<bot>: Hello, All your symptoms are due to heartburn. Take antacids and ginger tea or supplement to ease the symptoms. Avoid caffeinated Chat Doctor.  Have dinner 4 hours before going to bed. Sleep with raised head to ease heartburn.  If still, no improvement should see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and most specific treatment.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
