Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) related chest pain is more likely.
Only drugs are not useful in symptomatic relief. You need to follow below mentioned lifestyle modifications too.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
2. Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed.
3. Go for walking after meals. Loose weight if you are obese.
4. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
5. Start pantoprazole and levosulperide combination on empty stomach twice daily.
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.
