Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You did not mention your past history; do u have hypertension? It seems that pain is of cardiac origin if not relieved by antacids. Looking at your age, ECG and echocardiography should be done.
I hope I have answered your query. Let me know if you have any further questions.
Regards,
Dr. Bhadresh Lakhani
