What Causes Severe Pain In The Chest And Excessive Belching?

I have extreme pain in my chest and across my back...usually a result of garlic, however, I did not eat garlic last night. All day I have been suffering with these symptoms....excessive belching. I take Tagamet and tums to feel better, but this is unusual to have these symptoms all day. I worry that there might be something bigger going on. Thank you....
