What To Do If Having Burning In Chest And Throat Which Aggravates When Bending And Deep Breathing?

Last night I thought I had hearburn...I ve never really had it before. Had a pain/burning sensation in my chest and throat, along with a headache. Took an advil and a Zantac. Symptoms are the still the same and it feels worse when I bend down and take a deep breath.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion we should rule out cardiac and pulmonary causes for your symptoms.
So get done ecg to rule out cardiac cause.
Get done chest x ray to rule out pulmonary causes.
If both are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac and pulmonary causes.
You are having mostly GERD ( gastroesophageal reflux disease ) mostly.
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.
So better to start Proton pump inhibitors.
Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
