General & Family Physician,  's  Response
First of all before giving an opinion I wold like to know your age whcih is the most deciding factor for any comment on such symptoms , another thing which should be taken in consideration is your diet habbits, drinking habits & what you had in yesterdays meals.
Considering all the symptoms mentioned by you these are mostly because of the acidity, so you can have an antacid such as tab rabeprazole 20 mgs two times a day before food.
But such symptoms might be indicating some cardiac pathology so I would also like to advice you to get the ECG done if your profile fits in following crierian
age is more than 25 yrs, obesity, history of smoking & alcohol , history of cardiac events in family.

I find this answer helpful
