Chest pain could be due to a lot of reasons. If it is something related with your Gastro Intestinal Tract I may consider asking you a few more questions. Do you have a feeling of chest tightness, water brash, vomiting, nausea, loss of weight? Have you ever undertaken Gastro endoscopy? There is a bacteria which resides in the stomach wall lining which causes excessive acid . It would be advisable to test for that. A blood test is helpful. But a better test is Urea breath test. If it is positive you can take tablets to kill this bacteria. Do you have had any falls? May be the burning sensation in your elbow may be not connected with the chest pain Foods which trigger bloating have to be avoided like citru fruits -oranges sour grapes,spices, garam masala alcohol and smoking- as these all will irritate your stomach lining. Also a Barium meal Xray examination which tests the patency and tone of the muscles of your food pipe b y taking Xrays after having Barium will be helpful.
