Depends. Sometimes it can be a burning, sometimes it can feel like you're having a heart attack.

It's not really a pain, more like a burning sensation that feels like it's in the back of your throat. Tums works great!

It's when your stomach acids bubble up out of your stomach and into your lower esophagus. Usually tastes like burning.

Ive had it happen like 3 times to me. Feels like a sharp hot pain in your esophagus, might be harder to breathe for a bit.

It feels like your chest is heavy... that's what I always thought... am I right ?

don't tell me I've been having mini-heart attacks. :)

It feels like your balls are being sucked out of your a$$hole with a high powered vacuum.
