Poss hiatal hernia: Dear 317, this will, of course, need a thorough workup and some imagery, but from your description, it could well be a condition known as "hiatal hernia" where the top portion of your stomach has "slipped" up through the diaphragm into your chest. It can sometimes cause pain, and usually has acid reflux associated. Get with your pcp to rule out - there is surgery to repair if severe.
