Brief Answer:
proton pump inhibitor (PPI)...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Chest pain should always be evaluated by a doctor. There are a few reasons; but the reasons include serious conditions too. Therefore it is wise to visit a doctor.

In the meanwhile you can take a course of proton pump inhibitor for hyperacidity. I prescribe esomeprazole (nexpro) 20mg tablets twice a day before food for 2 weeks to my patients with hyperacidity.
