What Causes Chest Pain?

all day today i have had a pain in my chest which feels like it is from my heart, every 5-10 seconds i get a dull pain which lasts maybe only a second. i am currently traveling, and have been in very smoggy cities for 2 weeks now, also the food i have been eating recently is quite salty and fatty, so just wondering if it could be because of this or could be more serious?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are traveling and eating salty and fatty food, possibility of acute gastritis related chest pain is more.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in acute gastritis.
1. Avoid hot and spicy. Avoid junk food.
2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Avoid stress and tension,be relax and calm.
4. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach.
5. Quit smoking and Alcohol if you have these habits.
You will mostly improve with all these in chest pain in 2-3 days.
If not improving after 2-3 days then consult doctor and get done ecg to rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
