Thanks for writing to the forum!
The chest pain could be due to GERD or even acidity. Omeprazole is a good drug to combat this. Along with it you can try over the counter antacids. However I would recommend you see a doctor and take medication under a doctor’s supervision. Avoid heavy meals. Avoid too much of caffeine, tea, fried food and drinks both alcoholic and non alcoholic fuzzy ones. Avoid heavy exercises within 4 hours of a heavy meal. Raise the head end of the bed by pillows to 30 degrees. Go to bed at least 2 hours after food.
The other possibility is costochondritis of the joints between ribs and sternum. Consult an orthopedic specialist regarding this.
Hope these tips help. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!
