Experiencing Chest Pain And Possibility Of Gerd , What Are The Treatments ?

Hi,

I keep having sharp pains and dull aches below and to the sofe of my left pectorial.

I aslo have been having dull aches in the centre breastbone.

I have had 3 ECG's recently an a chest xray each time saying it is non cardiac related.

I was told i may have GERD and given antibiotics and tried to adjust my diet which has helped with the centre pains.

I went to A&E after strong pains below my pec and also slight pains iny left arm which of course worried me in to thinking it was heart related which is where i had 2 of the ecg's and xray but again ruled out the heart.

I am a 26 year old male who was smoking cannabis most evening until around 6 weeks ago when i had a huge panic attack and subsequently stopped and after this is when i began to have the pains.

Generally when i am active the pain dissapears.

If it is non cardiac related, why would i have had arm pain and my arm now and again feels a bit numb altough i am unsure if this is only when i think about it.
