Gas: Seems like gas & heartburn however acid reflux disease or GERD (the muscle that controls passage of food from esophagus into stomach becomes weak, causing food to come back into esophagus) & sometimes stomach ulcers can also cause similar symptoms, would suggest changes in diet (less spicy, greasy foods, avoid large meals) try antacid & if persists or is recurrent then see a Dr.
