Hello!
Most likely you are suffering from peptic ulcer. If your pain is related with meals intake, and a chest pain is like burning this might be it. However, when chest pain appears, it is always necessary to rule out any heart diseases like ischaemic heart disease as a heart attack may come up with similar symptoms. At least ECG should be performed and other heart tests if necessary.
If it`s about peptic ulcer, treatment can be started only after gastroduodenoscopy (it is necessary to rule out any malignant tumors, and check if there is Helicobacter Pylori infection). If your gastric mucosa is infected by this bacteria, antibiotics treatment associated with H2 blockers treatment is necessary.
If gastroduodenoscopy will show nothing, it is possible that you are suffering from gall stones and ultrasound of abdomen is necessary. Hepatic and pancreas tests should be performed as well.
Take care

Hello, loboblany,
Your schedule does sound very hectic. Irregular times of eating and not
enough fluid consumption. Now you are experiencing abdominal pain that
radiates upwards to the chest. This is very suggestive of acid reflux. Because
stress can induce more acid production.Topcid 40 is more like a supplement
and vitamin product. What you need is decent eating habits with enough
fluid intake and regular walking or yoga type relaxing methods to relieve
stress. I would also recommend over the counter Omeprazole 20 mg. once
or twice a day for about 4 weeks. to get the acid damage under control.
Wish you well.
