If it's occurred due to gas (what seems to me), pls suggest the remedies / medications I require now ? In my head, it seems that someone is hammering inside my head. My Pulse is Normal.

Hello.

Thanks for posting your query.

You may have gas problem, but when ever one is having central chest pain at your age, it is always advisable to exclude the reasons related to heart first. First and foremost thing you need to do is to see your doctor.

Please visit your physician and get your self examined. As per the need he will advise EKG and other investigation if thinks necessary.

Your fasting blood sugar is high, please get post meal sugar as well as Glycosylated Hb done to know whether you are diabetic or not.

Take simple analgesic like Tylenol for pain relief and avoid having large meal. Please do not take Sorbitrate without medical advise now.

You also need to get your blood pressure checked.

In case of your physician is not available readily, you can opt to go to ER.

I hope this helps and in case you have any further queries I will be glad to reply.
