Heartburn And Cough Sensation!?

This has been really bugging me. Been suffering on and off for a month. When I eat well, the heartburn is non-existent or slightly there. Sometime I'll eat something that triggers heartburn. But...

I get heartburn and a weird burning sensation in my chest. They're both different. It almost feels like it's in my lungs and I want to cough it out, but nothing comes out. It tickles my lungs or chest a bit when I breathe out. Doesn't seem to effect me when I breathe in.

I've had heartburn on and off for 7 years, but this feeling is different! Really annoying and hard to forget about.

So has anyone had something similar? Or is it just another symptom of GERD/heartburn and maybe it's reaching a little higher?

I've had heartburn and weird burning sensation in chest. My issue was a hiatal hernia, with an upside down stomach. I would get my heart checked out, then if okay, visit a gastrointestinal Dr.
