Are you experiencing this only when you are lying down perhaps?
Any small amount of gastric acid, whether you have excess gastric acid
or low gastric acid can flow upwards easily when lying down  and may give you GERD symptoms, however, in most cases GERD has more to do with low gastric acid  than not too much gastric acid!
Anti-acids would work against you if you already have low acid levels.
You may want to consider doing a Betaine HCL challenge.
Just follow the label directions and if you feel better consistently after a few times, then it's a good indication that your gastric acid levels are low.
Best wishes,
Niko
