All kinds of chest discomfort should be checked. I would advise you to visit the ER so that you can be examined and undergo investigations such as ECG, ECHO(if indicated), etc. to find the underlying cause of the problem and have it treated accordingly. It is likely that this discomfort is felt due to hyperacidity causing gastritis, in which case you'll require an antacid. These steps may help: - 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 (30-45mins everyday, maintain a healthy weight as per your BMI) - 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. - Avoid painkillers as it will increase your gastric problems at this moment.
