Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more.
But better to get done ecg and 2d echo first today rule out heart diseases.
If both these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Stress and anxiety cause laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of chest pain, tightness, vomiting etc.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm down.
Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution. You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
For GERD, take pantoprazole and domperidone tablet on empty stomach.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
