Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
If I were your treating doctor for this case of acute pain in chest , I would come up with these possibilities , these includes.
1 Drinks with caffeine in them may produced gastritis or hyper acidity . Due to all irritant substance , which you consumed developed oesophagitis and gastritis . Diagnosis can be confirmed by upper G I endoscopy. Antacid might help with oxetacaine in them. Still symptoms are severe then you may need proton pump inhibitors.
2 Pain on the left side of shoulder is also due to this but this is a referral pain .
In my opinion consult a physician and get his opinion .
Good luck. Dr. HET
