Suggest Treatment For Severe Burning Sensation In The Chest

For about a week, I get a mild burning sensation in my upper left chest/breast area, usually after I have eaten a meal. No pressure or any other symptoms. It goes away when I take a few teaspoons of an antacid liquid like Mylanta. Should I be concerned?

Thanks for contacting healthcare magic.

You have problem of burning sensation in chest and relieve by taking antacid that indicate gastritis problem. Take antacid for relife .After taking this much care still symptoms are present than you have to consent a physician for further diagnosis.
Proton pump inhibitor drugs helpful for gastritis condition.

Avoid spicy foods and alcohol drinking.
Drink more water.
You have left side pain so there is changes that any heart related problem so if symptoms not relive than consent a physician for treatment.

I hope my guidance is helpful to you.
Take care.
Thank you.
