Is it recurrent?: If the answer is yes, talk to a doctor. If it was an isolated episode, wait until it comes back again then see a doctor. Wish you well...

BURNING CHEST: Should see a doctor. may need antacids. look after you diet and avoid fizzy drinks, tea ,coffee, , spicy and oily food. Also they can take a detailed history and examination to rule out other causes.
