General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

Burning cramping pain in chest after meals with breathing and cough points towards gastroesophageal reflex disease or cardiac disease.

I advice you to get your ECG ,blood lipids.blood sugar,BP measurement done first to rule out cardiac disease.
It is probably due to GERD.
PPIs like omeprazole once a day for couple of days will help relieve the symptoms.
Avoid alcohol,hot.spicy food,caffeine,NSAIDs that may excaberate your symptoms.
Keep your body weight within control.
Avoid stress physical and psychological.

If symptoms donot resolve in 7 days,visit gastroenterologist for barium meal Xray oesophagus to assess severity of condition.Further management will depend upon it.

Hope I answered your query.
Feel free to ask any more query.
