based on your description it looks like gerd (gastroesophageal reflux disease). yes sometimes it becomes chronic and it is a very unpleasant feeling. in chronic cases esophageal sphincter may be incompetent too which leads to acid reflux. conservative therapy with antacids and diet is the first way of treatment. i suggest you use pantoprazole at morning and maalox syrup after meals. consult a specialist doctor discuss with him or her and take medicines with consent. avoid food at bedtime and also foods like caffeine chocolate spices gas drinks. use a pillow to raise your head more while sleeping. i advise you to get an upper digestive tract endoscopy. it determines the cause of gerd stomach and esophagus lesions. if the traditional method fails surgery is the final treatment with sphincter reinforcing. for further information consult an internal medicine physician online --><link>
