Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Acid reflux can be the cause for your thumping sensations in chest.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach twice daily.
4. Go for walking after meals. Loose weight if you are obese.
5. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
6. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
