Hi Tod - Yes, that burning sensation in the chest which is one of the main symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) (also known as heartburn) is pretty awful. The flow of stomach acid into the esophagus which causes the sickening taste is hard to take too.
We have a number of suggestions in our GERD section. You may have tried some of them but some of them may be new. https://www.empowher.com/condition/heartburn-gerd/treatments
Some people report success with natural remedies such as eating a apple in the evening before turning in for the night or mixing together apple cider, vinegar and honey. Here's additional information on natural remedies: https://www.empowher.com/heartburn-gerd/content/heartburn-how-can-i-avoid-and-what-are-some-natural-remedies-dr-weil
