Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of chest pain (central), tightness, pressure etc.
So better to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid stress and tension.
2. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
3. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs.
4. Go for walk after meals.
5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux.
6. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Loose weight if you are obese.
Don't worry, you will definitely improve with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
