What have you tried?: Sometimes, that feeling can be caused by GE reflux, and the usual first step is to try an over the counter H2 blocker like Pepcid or Zantac (ranitidine). Seeing your doctor ASAP may give you other options if that doesn't help within a day or two. Good Luck!

Additional options: Also recommend consideration of behavioral strategies/treatment options if physiological factors cannot identified. Some sucess has been shown for these options in certain circumstances. Recommend checking out the following article: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3360444/
