I had my first heartburn when I was 23. I could get rid of it if I avoided fried foods, caffiene and chocolate. Do not under any circumstances use milk to get rid of it. It will work for about half and hour and then the stomach makes even more acid than before. OUCH. Drink water instead. Also if this bothers you at night. Do not eat at least 2-3 hours before you go to bed. And if you can raise the head of your bed 2-3 inches. There's nothing wrong with taking a few Tums once in a while either.

First off...it probably is heartburn or acid reflux..BUT there is a small possibility it could be related to your heart...and that is nothing to ignore or delay on. Please go see your doctor and have it checked out. If it gets worse today..you may want to go to emergency. 25 year olds can have heart attacks.
Assuming it isn't try some pepto bismol, gaviscon or maalox from the drug store...if it is acid reflux it should settle down. Also you can get zantac over the counter or losec too I believe which will usually stop acid reflux in its tracks.
Again this is something you should see your doctor over if the condition persists cause acid reflux can damage your esophagus and lead to permanent scarring and precancerous conditions. The good news is that with new medications..such as Proton Pump inhibitors..you can totally control it. Other things to control would be to eliminate spicey foods, caffeine, carbonated drinks, tomato products, alcohol and not eat prior to go to bed. If you can elevate the head of your bed with pillows or books under the feet of the bed that can reduce acid reflux which is usually worse at night.
Good luck.
