Hi, Thanks for using HCM.
Any chest pain, need to rule out cardiac problem, Get ECG done. Your pain goes in more favor of gastritis pain. avoid spicy food Take tab. pantoprazole 40mg morning in empty stomach for 5 days. you can take antacid to reduce pain.
Consult your doctor for examination and management. Hope I answered your question. Feel free to ask me if you have any further queries. Wish you good health. Take care.

Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM
From your history it looks like acute gastritis. Take an antacidrabeprazole twice daily for ten days and have lots of water. Avoid spicy foods.
Hope this helps you
Take care
