4. Heartburn or Indigestion
Heartburn will feel like there is a burning inside of your chest. This often occurs after bending over, eating, working out, or at times when you lie down at night. Acid reflux is typically the cause of this. Reflux occurs when your stomach acid flows up into the esophagus. In addition to feeling pain inside of your chest, you may also have a burning feeling in your throat and may experience difficulty swallowing.
Some people who have heartburn feel like there is food stuck in the middle of their chest or still lodged in their throat. Indigestion refers to having an upset stomach feeling. Often times indigestion does not cause a person to have chest pain. However, there are times when a person may experience indigestion alongside heartburn. When this occurs a person may experience pain in their chest as well as an unexplained salty, sour, or acidic taste in the back of their mouth.
