I am having GERD flare right now and take Gaviscon every night(almost) Have started Pantoprazole today. Yesterday I had grilled pork steak . I also eat about 50grms of dark chocolate every day.

I would monitor it and see if it is a one off thing or just brief.  If it continues, see your doctor.  There could be a situation with your upper GI tract. Perhaps an ulcer.  Don't self treat for long, get yourself looked at.  Hopefully it will resolve quickly and not be something you have to bother with. Let me know if it keeps up.
