Hi,
Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.
Left side of chest hurt after eating fast food mostly due to gastritis.
But what is your age? Cardiac examination and evaluation to be done to rule out heart problems.
I suggest you to consult a physician for cardiac evaluation and basic investigation like EEG.
Gastritis will respond to proton pump inhibitors such as omeprazole orally.
Hope I have answered your query.
Regards.
