General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello. The pain seems to be stemming from acidity, rather than any other cardiac causes. So, you need not to worry much. Just pop an antacid like Gelusil tablets or famotidine/ranitidine tablets. Avoid fatty foods and oily foods. In case you feel any chest pain, consult your doctor immediately.
