Hi, yes gastritis specially in fundus region can present as pain in chest and in left arm and face. But these may also be the signs of any cardiac problem.
What is your age and is there any other abnormalities like diabetes, hyper tension, lipid abnormality or obesity. You need to monitor them.
For now follow your doctor's advice and if the discomfort continues the need ti check for any cardiac problem.
Regards
