? reflux: Given your age, the most likely cause is heartburn. Try taking maalox or mylanta. If there are any family heart problems, or if you feel dizzy, lightheaded with or heavy sensation in chest like crushing or something sitting on chest and cant breath, that is more likely cardiac. I would see your doc for an EKG to r/o irreg heartrate like atrial fibrillation
