What Is The Severe Chest Pain That Subsides After Burping?

My husband is 34 years old. He never experienced any chest pain before. He ate something really oily (which made his stomach very uncomfortable last night), and today at work, after he went in to a freezer, he felt a sharp, squeezing pain in his chest (center, slightly above his stomach). The pain increased to a 8 out of 10 (and lasted about 10 seconds), and then he burped, and the pain went away. The pain lasted about 4 - 5 minutes in total. Should he be concerned about it??

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since his symptoms occurred after eating oily food and pain relieved by burping, acute gastritis is more likely.
So better to avoid oily and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination twice daily before food for 5 days.
Don't worry, he will be alright.
If chest pain still persist even after 5 days then consult doctor.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your husband. Thanks.
