A member asked:
Last night lwhen sleeping l had pain behind my left breast, when l went to get up l burped and had a sour taste in my mouth. is this acid?

Probably so: It was probably hydrochloric acid that ran up your esophagus while you were lying down and burped up when you stood up. If this persists have a MD check for a hiatal hernia. Avoid eating and lying down within two hours of a meal to help prevent this problem.
