Brief Answer:
proton pump

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Since you are having pain in your chest and your X ray and ecg was normal you do not need to worry.
The pain could be due to the acidity you are having.
I will advise you to take proton pump inhibitor group of drugs and paracetamol tablets twice daily with doctors advise.

Brief Answer:
Not lung cancer

Detailed Answer:
Hi

Sometimes when you go from from low altitude to high there could be bleeding from nose.

If you are having bleeding from coughing then i would advise you to go for CT scan of chest.

Since your x ray is normal i do not think it is lung cancer and you should not worry.

If you have no more clarifications then please rate the answer and close the thread.
