Brief Answer:
need observation..

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Your description is not very typical of any typical organic medical problem. However the close possible condition that can be related to your description is hyperacidity / GERD. If you persist to have these complaints, then you can try proton pump inhibitor like pantoprazole 20mg twice daily before food for 2 weeks.

It would also be worthwhile to see a physician and plan for ECG.

Hope this helps you. Let me know if you need clarifications.

Regards
