Chest burning: May be gastritis/ GERD can try ranitidine /prevecid which are OTC and see if helps. caffeine, alcohol smoking , spicy foods sodad make it worse May be gall bladder as well or can be gas/stool in colon as colon rides high. f/u /w/ doc

Reflux: Could be reflux. When you get the pain try a Pepcid (famotidine) complete to see if it resolves the issue
