Brief Answer:
Non cardiac most likely.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for choosing HCM for your query.
Off and on sharp chest pain is very unlikely to be cardiac in origin.
Apart from that its responding well to antacids and pain killer,Which again points out that pain can either be gastric or muscular in origin.
Visceral pain never responds to ibuprofen etc.
Nothing is common when it comes to medical condition,Even a small boil can be a cancer and may cost life.
Initially i would recommend you to go for some of the baseline tests of cardiology like 2d echo and stress test to rule out cardiac involvement.
Once these tests are fine you are free from cardiac side and should consult Gastroenterologist for gastric issues causing off and on pain.
Exercise daily for 30 minutes.
Walk at a speed not less then 5.1km/hr everyday.
Eat lot of fibres in diet.
Eat veg and try to avoid red meat.
Avoid fast food and aerated beverages.
Take Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily for few days.
Follow up with reports.
