Hello.The most appropriate treatment for chest pain reflux are called proton pump inhibitors (Omeprazole, Lansoprazole, Pantoprazole ....).Although their pain seems to be related to reflux,remember that if you had a pain with pressure in the center of the chest and symptoms such as facial pallor, sweating, nausea
or difficulty breathing, you should go as soon as possible to an Emergency Service.I wish you good health.
