What Causes Chest Pain While Eating Food?
when I eat or drink in particular, a pain arises just below the chest at the right side of body (opposite to heart). The pain is only for the time when food passes through this place. I am afraid if it could be a serious problem. I have become so much lazy and want to sleep all the time. I also get much tired and inspire ghastly when I do a little work.

Hi.
Chest pain while eating is indicative of severe esophagitis. I would advise you the following.
Zantac 12 hourly.
Pepcid every 3 to 4 hours when on empty stomach.
Add Domperidone or such motility regulators.
Soft bland diet.
No aerated colas / soda/ drinks.
Early dinner. No late nights.
Treatment for anxiety (as prescribed / needs a prescription by your Doctor)
Lying in a reclining position
Walk around after dinner.
Think of the factors which increased the present problem, GERD, anxiety and try to avoid.
If no relief, get Upper GI endoscopy done and get prescription for added Medicines.
EKG for the heart n a safer side to rule out cardiac problems.
This helps all my patients and should help you hopefully.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, and looking to the complaint given here I could say that this could be due to the Esophagitis and this could be due to reflux of acid contained, in my opinion this can be treated with Tab Omeprazole 40 mg and Domperidone 30 mg once in day for few weeks, hope this information helps.
