What Causes Chest Pain After Eating Food?

I have been suffering from chest pain, mostly after eating for several months. The pain is located towards the bottom of my sternum around where the cardiac sphincter would be located. Antacids are not helping. It is not a burning, more of pressure and a feeling like something stuck. Lots of belching also that does not seem to help with the pain as well.
