Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your symptoms could be related to a bulging disc in the cervical vertebral column. For this reason I would recommend performing a cervical spine X-ray study. A Cervical spine MRI study may be needed if suspicion of a bulging disc are raised.
It does not seem to be indigestion. But if it occurs while bending forward or laying, it could be related to gastroesophageal reflux.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
