Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain And Difficult In Breathing

I am 36 year old female with 3.5 yr old son. I am having chest pain since last couple of days. It like somebody s put a heavy pressure on my chest. It increases while I bend down or cough. Off lately I have also started feeling nauseated after every meal. Though I take small portion and avoid oily food I feel I have done overeating and it becomes difficult for me to breathe. Please help.

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease). Since your symptoms are related to overeating and after meals GERD seems more in your case.
It is due to laxity of the gastroesophageal sphincter. Due to this acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms.
So try to follow these for GERD.
1. Avoid oily and sipcy, hot food.
2. Avoid stress and anxiety.
3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
4. Take proton pump inhibitors.
5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed.
6. Go for walk after meals.
