.I dont know what really triggered my own case but I guess stress of driving as an uber driver and habit of eating late .

No company want to employ me because of my health status so I decided to rent  a car to work as an uber driver to feed my family. 

I have to be on the wheel 12hrs and most time 24hrs ' I eat while sitting in d car , I sleep in d car for days bfor i can go home and most time i eat very late at night.  I think all dese may have trigger it because thorough out last year i was eating both soft and solid food and i dont do any work .

But since I started  driving since last month  this difficulty started.

    I think you may be right.Eating late and whilst not relaxing will not help. If you can find ways of relaxing I am sure this would help.

    There can sometimes be a different pattern of reflux during the night periods. The type of food you eat might also contribute. Sometimes the reflux can trigger off chest pains. Carbonated drinks would probably not help either.
