Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having acute gastritis and this gives you feeling of chest constriction.
Your symptoms are associated with eating of high salt diet. So high salt can cause hyperacidity and symptoms.
So better to avoid excessive salt in food.
Take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs.
Drink plenty of fluids orally. Avoid hot and spicy food.
Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
