Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on Ask A Doctor service!
I passed carefully through your question and would agree with you on the fact that your symptoms could be related to acid reflux, but considering your age it is important to investigate for other possible causes that may lead to this clinical situation: coronary artery disease, local inflammation, Shingles infection, etc..
For this reason, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and some tests:
-a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes
-complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- a chest X ray study
- D-Dimmer levels for pulmonary embolism
- blood electrolytes
- kidney and liver function tests.
Hope to have been helpful!
Wishing good health,
Dr. Iliri
