Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.

Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.

Heart burn can be due to following reasons:

1. Acid reflux
2. Cardiac issues.

Any issues pertaining to acid reflux should be evaluated for cardiac issues also.

We can't afford to miss cardiac reason for chest pain so we always advise to get an ECG done. This will give an idea that pain is cardiac in nature or not.

If the ECG is normal, then pain is probably due to Acid reflux.

For acid reflux, i would advise you to take a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone once a day.

Take soft and bland diet. You may take Syrup Digene for acidity purpose.

If you have recurrent episodes of acidity, get upper GI endoscopy and Ultrasound Abdomen done.

This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
