first thing dont worry it's quite common. i had it, went to the doctor, he recommended some pill to soothe (that i didnt take!). i looked up on the net, and raised the head of my bed by 4 inches and never had a problem with it since.
it's a small muscle between the stomach and food pipe that seals off the stomach acid, but it can get aggrevated and some acid gets past causing the burning sensation
don't eat too late in the day, avoid soft drinks and alcohol, very acidic fruits. go for alkaline things like milk and yoghurts, but otherwise eat normally

First of all, don't panic.
It might indeed be acid reflux. In which case, a doctor can make suggestions. So ask.
My husband has to deal with a similar condition. I found papaya enzyme tablets that seem to help him, and when his stomach really throws him a fit I fix him tension tamer tea with a spoon of honey, a spoon of sugar, and a dash of ginger. He swears it helps. Check your local health food store for the tablets. The supermarket should carry the tea and ginger.
Good luck!

HI don't worry.
Acid Reflect will hurt and feeling like your thrort and stomach are almost burning. Go see a doctor though, but not all cases of Acid reflex can result to cancer, don't worry.

What does your doctor say? He probably knows more about this than we do.
