I feel a lil nervousness
So, I went to a doctor and he told me that it is gastritis, which is some due to eating too much spices. And I agree with that. But I still have two questions :
If it is due to spicy still there is a moment when I felt like heaviness in my cheat, unable to breathe, feeling smthn and getting nervous and thinking what it is even when i didn't eat anything spicy.
Second it even happend when I was watchin a show and some scene made me nervous and I started feeling it again, but I wanna ask, since I study in a college where I don't need to go regularly, so I sleep around 6 am in the morning and wake up around 4 pm (also coz I have been depressed 2 years ago), and then when I wake up I have my lunch and have dinner around 12 am or smthn. I just wanna know since my family hates this schedule of mine, but I am like this only and I feel comfortable too (GEN Z LIFESTYLE yk) do you think this schedule is not okay? and it could be a reason of what I feel? or what.

Yes, your schedule is very much part of this. Waking at 4 pm, eating your first meal then and dinner at midnight keeps acid production and your stress hormones completely out of rhythm - that is why the heaviness comes even on days you eat nothing spicy. But the episode during the show, with breathlessness and a rush of nervousness, is anxiety, not gastritis; with a depression history two years back it needs looking at properly rather than being clubbed with spices. Practical plan: pull your sleep back by 30 minutes every few days, three fixed meals, nothing spicy or caffeinated in the last 3 hours before sleep, and 20 minutes of daylight walking. Chest pain with sweating, blackouts or pain going to the arm means casualty immediately, not a wait. Book me on Practo and we will work through both the stomach and the anxiety side.

It's worth separating two things here. The gastritis diagnosis may well explain some of your stomach symptoms, but the chest heaviness, breathlessness, and nervousness you're describing — especially since it's happened without spicy food and even during a stressful moment in a show — points more toward an anxiety-related response than a digestive one. These two can definitely overlap and even worsen each other, but treating it as 'just gastritis' may miss the anxiety piece, which is worth addressing directly, especially given your history. On the sleep schedule — regardless of framing, a consistently inverted sleep-wake cycle (sleeping at 6am, one meal essentially merged with dinner near midnight) does affect digestion, appetite regulation, and can worsen anxiety and gastritis symptoms independent of what you eat, so it's a real contributing factor, not just a lifestyle preference issue. I'd suggest a consult so we can look at the anxiety symptoms and the gastritis together, rather than one masking the other.

Most likely: The episodes may be related to gastritis/reflux, but the fact that they are triggered by nervousness also suggests anxiety-related episodes. Your irregular sleep schedule and late meals may further worsen reflux and anxiety symptoms.
Next Steps
Try gradually correcting your sleep schedule, avoid heavy/spicy meals close to bedtime, limit caffeine and maintain regular meals
Health Tips
If chest heaviness or breathing difficulty is severe, prolonged, or associated with fainting, palpitations or significant chest pain, get examined urgently.
You can consult me for a detailed assessment of your symptoms and guidance on whether further evaluation is needed.
