Brief Answer:
Sounds like gas in your stomach

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

Thank you for the vivid description. What you describe sounds like gas in your stomach, especially if you feel relief when belching. However, chest pain can indicate heart disease, and I urge you to see a doctor to rule this out.
