Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain

Hi i just got back from a trip away for new year where all we did was get drunk for 3 days. i vomited a couple of times but there was a little bit of blood in my vomit this has happened a couple of times before but im now have other symptoms almost like a chest infection and have had a couple of sharp pains in my chest that only last a couple of seconds thankfully because they were very sore. also my stomach isnt feeling to good. and my bowel movements have been random. I dont have enough money for the doctor so if you let me know what i should do that would be great thank you.

Hello dear, thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion you are having mostly GERD ( gastroesophageal reflux disease ).
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter.
Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms like vomiting, burning chest pain , stomach problems and bowel problem.
It is aggravated by alcohol ingestion.
So GERD is likely cause in your case.
Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food.
2. Avoid stress and tension.
3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
4. Start Proton pump inhibitors.
5. Go for walk after meals.
6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux.
7. Avoid alcohol drinking. Also avoid smoking if you have this habit.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
