Brief Answer:
cardiac workup, if negative UGI endoscopy
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have gone through the description you have provided.
GERD ( gastro esophageal reflux disease) could be responsible for all of your symptoms.
But I would suggest cardiac work up, as I would like to rule out heart disease in view of the left jaw and left hand pain. This workup would include a 2 d echo and an ECG.
In case the above tests are negative then the next step would be to get a UGI ( Upper Gastrointestinal) endoscopy to look for erosive GERD.
I would suggest to increase the dose of pantoprazole to twice a day.
I would advise to avoid Alcohol, meat, mint and chocolate flavoured foods, citrus fruits, deep fried foods.
I would suggest not to lie down for 3 hours after meals.
Hope this helps
