Slight pain in upper abdominal
I have a slight upper abdominal pain for weeks. It goes away when I eat and comes back when I'm hungry. Also, today there was a slight pain in my lower left side of the chest not sure if the pain was in the heart.
Should I go and visit the doctor?

As per your history this looks like symptoms of Gastritis.
Follow some life style changes : stop tea coffee. Avoid spicy food. Don't eat cabbage / capsicum/ don't drink / eat citrus fruits. If symptoms persists then It's better to get a upper Gastroscopy done to rule out ulcers/ erosions/ presence of H.pylori infection. By then you can take tab. PANTODAC DSR (1-0-1) HALF AN HOUR BEFORE MEAL FOR 7 DAYS. Sup. GAVISCON 10 ml THREE TIMES A DAY AFTER MEAL FOR 10 DAYS. Report the progress.
