Heartburn.: This shows you as a 62 year old man? It is pretty clear that's not you. If you gained weight, some of that may be intra-abdominal and could be putting pressure on your stomach. That could make you more vulnerable to getting relux. If it really bothers you, consider walking or swimming and transition onto the bike. On the other hand, if it only happened once, It may have just been a bad day.
