While I am not a physician, I can say that your symptoms seem very similar to the symptoms I have experienced in my lifetime with GERD. Although only a Gastro Internist can say for certain, you can help reduce the problems by avoiding fatty foods, greasey foods, lactose products and caffeine. Now that might sound like a lot of things, but it really isn't if you keep them in VERY stark moderation.
