HI Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
Most likely you might be suffering from condition called Gastro-esophageal Reflux disease ( GERD )
GERD is a condition where excess acid production in the stomach gets refluxed ( that is it goes up ) into the oesophagus ( food pipe ). This cause pain in stomach radiating to the chest with a burning sensation in chest . The burning and pain sensation is intermittent and not continuous .
You need to get Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy for confirmation of diagnosis . Treatment is very simple , 2 weeks course of Antacid with Anti-reflux medicine will cure you .
Kindly get the test and revert back .
