Hello,
This burning sensation and chest pain may be caused due to gastritis and GERD. Using antacids such as Maalox is advisable. You may need to get checked doing a breath test, helicobacter pylori test and a fibroscopy also.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
