What is this burning in my throat?

My throat has been burning off and on for several weeks now and I am not sure why or what I can do to help it. I do think it is heartburn because I have not had chest pain. It just burns in my throat like I just threw up, but I didn't.

I am currently 13 weeks pregnant and don't know if that is why, but I think it may be.

Anybody else have this, without the chest pain?

Update:

Thank you everyone. I thought it might be heartburn/acid reflux. Maybe I seem silly, but I thought I would have chest pain if it was.

    It's called acid reflux - and yes, you can get it without heartburn. You can take tums, try sleeping a little more upright, or talking with your doc about a prescription (I'm on protonix right now for the exact same thing).

    Sometimes I have the chest pain, sometimes I don't. But I always feel like my throat is burning.

    It definately sounds like acid indegestion, you need to be very careful what you take for it as most things are not good with pregnancy. I actually sipped gripe water which worked wonders!

    Acid Reflux? That is what I would think based on your description.

    Yes that is what I had...take tums it helps...try the smoothie kind they arent as chalky and actually taste good. Feel free to eat them like candy...I had this problem throughout my pregnancy.
