Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more likely in your case because your symptoms are more after eating.
GERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in esophagus and cause symptoms of chest pain, chest pressure, tightness etc.
So take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination twice daily before food.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Go for walking after meals.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
No need to worry for heart attack.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
