I experienced the same thing! i dont really know if its acid reflux or heartburn or both - ive never had either so i dont know the difference, but i definitely getting it after treatment. i told my doctor and he gave me some medicine but it has mostly gone away now - i still get it every now and then but not like i was getting it the first several months after treatment. i'd tell your doctor though, there is medicine to help!
