Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of severe chest pain and indigestion. The symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as acidic reflux or gastrointestinal reflux disease . This condition occur when upper sphincter of esophagus fail to hold the acidic content of stomach and it come upwards due to its dysfunction. I would suggest you to avoid eating spicy and heavy food specially at night , take small and frequent meals , avoid caffeinated products , take light walk after every meal and continue taking medicine prescribed by doctor. If condition doesn't get improve then consult doctor again for proper examination. Doctor may recommend surgery to correct then condition or refer you to cardiologist. In this type of condition only medicine is not going to work , it also require lifestyle changes.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
