Yes: The common name for this is "heartburn", and antacids can ameliorate. A male your age should be evaluated with a cardiac stress test to rule out coronary artery disease & angina. The idea is to rule out the worst differential diagnosis first, and not to assume a lesser threatenous symptom to be the most likely cause.
