No, Customer (name blocked for privacy), Your symptoms are not caused by eating chocolate .
What you probably have , it is a condition called Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease , a condition characterized by the reflux of acid juices from the stomach back into the esophagus and the second possibility would be a Gastritis ( stomach lining inflammation) .
My main recommendation is that you consult a Gastroenterologist Specialist to evaluate your symptoms .
The doctor will perform some tests including : an endoscopy , pH acidity test , and an esophageal manometry .
With these tests , the doctor will be able to determine what of these conditions you have to give you the appropriate treatment .
Usually the treatment includes antacids ,proton pump inhibitors , antibiotics (in some cases) and acid blockers .
However , if you experience sudden chest pain or breathing difficulty, you need to consult a doctor immediately .
