Answer 1

It could be acid reflux. that hurts and can feel like a heart attack. At any rate, you should get checked by a doctor. If it is acid reflux they can give you meds for it. You don't want to take chances in case it's something more serious.

Answer 2

Of course you should report this to your doctor, do you ever get food stuck in your esophagus? Do you regurgitate acid? ever get pain when you are climbing stairs etc. Don't fool around you need to see your doc and report it, until then chew your food really well, and don't lie down after eating.
