Your symptoms are suggestive of gastritis due to hyperacidity. You may require antacids to control the situation. These following steps may help control the gastritis:
- Don't skip meals, you may not feel like eating but in such conditions you should have the reduced amount in frequent intervals(i.e. 3 square meals broken down to 5 or 6 as you can tolerate) and slowly increase as you get better.
- Reduce/ Avoid spicy,fried, fatty, junk and oily food
- Avoid/ Limit drinking coffee, tea and carbonated drinks to once a day
- Exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight as per your BMI(30-45mins of carido exercises per day)
- Increase daily intake of water to 3 liters
- Avoid/Stop smoking and drinking if you have the habit.
- Reduce stress through methods such as yoga/meditation/tai-chi.

Probably gastritis..
Having a pain, heaviness or discomfort in your chest can be scary. It does not always mean that you are having a heart attack. There can be many other causes, including
Other heart problems, such as angina
Panic attacks
Digestive problems, such as heartburn or esophagus disorders
Sore muscles
Lung diseases, such as pneumonia, pleurisy, or pulmonary embolism
Costochondritis - an inflammation of joints in your chest
Some of these problems can be serious. Get immediate medical care if you have chest pain that does not go away, crushing pain or pressure in the chest, or chest pain along with nausea, sweating, dizziness or shortness of breath. Treatment depends on the cause of the pain.
To rule out cardiac issues. Get a ECG and 2D echocardiography done. If they are normal then get a TMT / stress echo done.. If they are also normal then you have nothing to worry from heart side
Meanwhile take
Tab. Flexon Mr twice a day for 5 days
Cap. Pantocid DSR 40 mg before meals twice a day for 5
