Has anyone else experienced similar problems at that age?

Background info: I was quite late going into puberty, so once I did, my body started growing very quickly.
From what you describe it could be "acid reflux" where stomach acid burns the esophagus. But if its still a problem, yeah, checking with a doctor is a wise move.
