Acid reflux?: Acid reflux can cause this sensation, and would more commonly occur at night when lying down. See if your symptoms occur more often after eating foods and drinking beverages that cause acid reflux such as spicy foods, caffeine, chocolate, red sauces, peppermint, alcohol, etc. Also, taking an OTC acid blocker could help give you more answers. If not improving, start with a primary care doctor.
