Brief Answer:
you may have reflux
Detailed Answer:
Hello,XXXX,I am Dr.Teli,MD.I have gone through your query.
You may have gastric reflux. Especially after heavy food your contents of stomach come up in food pipe and cause you symptoms. Such pain may be due to blocks in artery of heart ,but it is never relieved by walking ,in fact heart pain worsens on walking. So you must avoid heavy meals ,take frequent small meals.
You may take PPI group of medicine in consultation with your doctor. To be on safe side get your ECG once. And if your symptoms continue inspire of PPI and anti reflux treatment you may need endoscopy.
I would be happy to guide further
