That isn't a symptoms of acid reflux.
The top 10 causes of acid reflux:
Coffee, tea, and other drinks that contain caffeine
Caffeine can relax the LES, allowing stomach contents to reflux into the esophagus.
Chocolate
Chocolate contains concentrations of theobromine (a compound that occurs naturally in many plants such as cocoa, tea and coffee plants), which relaxes the esophageal sphincter muscle, letting stomach acid squirt up into the esophagus.
Fried and fatty foods
These foods tend to slow down digestion, keeping the food in your stomach longer. This can result in increases pressure in the stomach, which in turn puts more pressure on a weakened LES, allowing reflux of stomach contents.
Tomatoes and tomato-based products
These foods relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
Alcohol
Alcohol relaxes the lower esophageal sphincter, allowing the reflux of stomach contents into the esophagus. It also increases the production of stomach acid.
Tobacco
The chemicals in cigarette smoke weaken the LES as they pass from the lungs into the blood.
Large meals
A full stomach can put extra pressure on the lower esophageal sphincter (LES), which will increase the chance that some of this food will reflux into the esophagus.
Citrus fruits and juices
These foods relax the lower esophageal sphincter (LES).
Eating within 2 to 3 hours prior to bedtime
Lying down with a full stomach can cause stomach contents to press harder against the LES, increasing the chances of refluxed food.
Wearing tight fitting clothing
Clothing that fits tightly around the abdomen will squeeze the stomach, forcing food up against the LES, and cause food to reflux into the esophagus. Clothing that can cause problems include tight-fitting belts and slenderizing undergarments.

I have to agree with cheryl S on this. But in addition to that, there might be a mechanical abnormality that's causing food reflux back into the esophagus and that's mainly due to the presence of a hiatus hernia, whereby a small part of the stomach protrudes through the diaphragmatic opening and sits in the chest instead of naturally being below the diaphragm. This ofcourse makes food reflux possible since you lose th protective effect that the diaphragm exerts in keeping the food in the stomach.
Best of luck
