Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are having multiple Health issues.
Since your heart related causes have been ruled out, possibility of either lung secondaries or lung infection as a cause for your chest pain is more.
You had lung granuloma in 2006. So better to get done CT thorax at present.
This will definitely diagnose lung infection or lung secondaries if present.
If CT thorax is normal than possibility of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more.
So avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Start proton pump inhibitors.
Don't worry, you will be alright, but first get done CT thorax.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
