GERD: This certainly sounds like GERD. You will need an examination and blood testings. I suggest OTC Pepcid (famotidine) AC 1 tab AM/PM until you can be seen by your phsician. Avoid all acids, citrus, aspirin and NSAIDS ( Advil/ Aleve) oand caffeine.

Such symptoms are: difficult to evaluate alone without additional information! Could it have een an unusual meal you ate?? Sound like acid reflux or GERD. In any case, this needs evaluation by your Primmary Care Provider. Dr Z
