Brief Answer: Non cardiac. Detailed Answer: Dear Friend. I appreciate that you gave answer point wise. This pain doesn't seem to be due to Cardiac disease. It might be due to , acid peptic disease. I still advise you to get following investigations : 1. Hemogram 2. ECG 3. KFT / LFT 4. Lipid Profile. 5. Ultrasound Abdomen. I advise you to take a combination of Pantoprazole 40 mg twice a day. If you have any anxiety you may also take Tab Etizolam 0.5 mg once a day for 5 days. This is advise for you based on available details. Let me know if you have any further query.
