What Causes Burning Sensation And Tightness In Chest?

I woke up in the middle of the night breathing in bile. My chest was burning and it was hard to breathe. eventually I coughed most of it up and the ache died down but I have not felt well, with a slight ache, and tightness in my chest all day today. Should I be concerned?
