Most commonly GERD: with normal CXR,ECG and echo, findings are less likely cardiac.
Exercise has been known to trigger reflux. Figure out if its your routine (crunches on a full stomach), or diet (aggravating foods, coffee, OJ). Try some PeptoBismol before exercise to see if chnages.
Keep a diary of when it happens, how you feel, and what you had to eat that morning. It will give you and your doc the best picture.
