Regurgitation: Could be anxiety or could be reflux with or without H pylori a bacteria. Famotidine/ omeprazole may help . Foods such as alcohol, carbonated beverages, acidic food ( OJ), chocolate may worsen it as can smoking.Also do not lie down within an hour of eating and avoid tight clothes. Follow up with MD

Definitely worth: Investigating. Typically esophageal disorders, either structural or functional as simple as reflux will need to be ruled out. Anxiety is definitely part of it and that worsens the whole picture. Talk to your doc about your symptoms.
