I would say it definitely could be acid reflux. The same thing happens to me when my GERD is flaring up fierce, though thankfully that hasn't happened in a really long time.
And LordEden, if/when you can spare the cash for a course of Prevacid (as soon as it comes out OTC), you should give it a try. It won't hurt if you don't have GERD, but if you do, it can help any damage you've done to your stomach heal, which is typically what causes the long-term pain and sensitivity. While changing my diet and losing weight really helped with my chronic GERD, what finally got rid of the pain was a course of Prevacid.
