Answers:
It could be acid reflux, or GERD!. It could also be an ulcer!. I googled both of these (which you can also do) to share what the symptoms are!.
Here are some links: http://www!.healthscout!.com/ency/68/61/ma!.!.!.
"The most common symptom of GERD is heartburn!. Heartburn most often occurs 30 to 60 minutes after meals!. The heartburn is usually intensified by eating, lying down, bending over or exercising!. Patients often report relief from taking antacids or baking soda!."
For ulcers: http://www!.mamashealth!.com/stomach!.asp
"The major symptom of an ulcer is a burning or gnawing feeling in the stomach area that lasts between 30 minutes and 3 hours!. This pain is often interpreted as heartburn, indigestion or hunger!. The pain usually occurs in the upper abdomen, but sometimes it may occur below the breastbone!. In some individuals the pain occurs immediately after eating!. In other individuals, the pain may not occur until hours after eating!. The pain frequently awakens the person at night!. Weeks of pain may be folowed by weeks of not having pain!. Pain can be relieved by drinking milk, eating, resting, or taking antacids"
What you described doesn't seem to quite fit!. I would suggest you talk with your doctor if it continues!. As for the kind of doctor, you coudl start with your Primary care, but s/he may refer you to a Gastroenterologist (or GI) doctor!.
Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
