Try taking one of the over-the-counter acid reflux remedies for a few days. There are some that last for 9 hours. If that helps but it comes back when you stop the medicine, then do consult your doctor. It could be Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease which can be serious if not treated.
Other things to do: avoid spicy foods, don't eat too close to bedtime, elevate the head of your bed (put a piece of wood under the top feet) and sleep up on pillows. The acid can't flow up from the stomach.
Are you under stress right now? That can be part of it.
Search the net for information on GERD or acid reflux.
Your doctor is the best choice for a source of advice. Hope you feel better soon.
