As well as everyone else as said, most likely you have Gastroesophgeal Reflux Disorder (or GERD)!. It's usually caused by a weakening of the sphincter (yeah, yeah, yeah - make all your jokes now) that is at the opening of the stomach!.
OTC meds such as OTC Prevacid or Prilosec should help because they are specifically geared toward treating GERD!.
Another way to control GERD is to look at how fast you eat and how much you eat!. Do you eat very fast!? Do you feel sickly full after a meal because you eat so fast!? Are their certain foods that trigger this!?
I have GERD and have had it since I was 19!. I did treat it with meds at first, but eventually I decided to do the diet and portion control route - which actually works the best in my opinion!. Then that way you don't have to be on meds for an extended period of time!.
Watch spicy foods or heavy tomato-based foods!. I always had a problem with them (less so after I had my gallbladder out but that's a different issue!.!.!.LOL)!. But eating slowly and watching how much you take in really helps!.
Good luck, honey!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It's some type of indigestion, maybe heartburn, but sounds like it could possible be acid reflux!. My dad has this as do my sisters, and probably me too!.
Get it checked out early, or else your esophagus could get damaged!. My dad let his get out of hand and would wake up choking on throwup, but if he takes his medication, this doesn't happen!.
No worries, it's probably something treatable!. If it persists or has become a real problem you should get it checked out!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Sounds like heartburn or indigestion!. How long have you been having this problem!? I have acid reflux and sometimes I will get a sour taste in my throat and my chest will hurt!. If it keeps up and your having trouble breathing I would see your dr!. But it sounds like acid reflux!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Could be acid reflux disease or GERD!. Try some over the counter antacids such as Tums or Rolaids!. If it persists, try some OTC medications like Tagamet, Pepcid, etc!. I have the same problem sometimes and I use Pepcid Complete!. It works for both short term and long term GERD problems!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
