Brief Answer:
Visit the ER at the earliest. Do not ignore.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone very carefully through your query. Although your problem seems to be due to gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux, you should not ignore the issue and should go to the ER at the earliest to rule out heart attack or angina as a possible cause. An ECG needs to be done.
Please do not delay any further and call up the emergency services at the earliest. You can let me know thereafter and I would guide you further.
Regards

Brief Answer:
Likely to be due to gastritis
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for the update. In that case I would suspect nothing other than gastritis or GERD.
In order to relieve yourself, you need to do the following:
* Avoid spicy food. Take small but frequent meals. Avoid long gaps between meals.
* Avoid alcohol intake (if it a part of your habit).
* Take Prilosec (omeprazole) once daily before breakfast.
* Take plenty of green leafy vegetables as well as other sources of dietary fibers. Take fiber supplements like isabgol/psyllium husk or senna. I would insist you to increase your dietary fiber intake.
* Regular morning walk and exercise to keep the bowel movements proper.
* Take curd or yogurt on daily basis. It contains beneficial bacteria and should help.
* Yoga and meditation should help.
Hope that helps.
Let me know if I could help further.
