Several possible: Your symptoms could be related to many things and a full and thorough history and physical should be performed. Pts with post prandial symtoms ( symptoms after they eat) can be related to gastic reflux. The acid irritates the food pipe which sits just behind the heart.It can be due to food or drink related items. Hot or spicey foods or high caffiene drinks etc. A holter, labs, cxr, and poss GI eval.
