You need it checked: You need to see your doctor.It could be related to gastro esophageal reflux with esophagitis or your heart like angina pectoris.It is very difficult to say what it could be without a comprehensive detailed history and physical exam and if indicated tests like ekg, endoscopy and other imaging etc.It also can be related to your diet, meds you are taking, gall bladder disease, high cholesterol , obesity.
