What Causes Chest Pain?

I've been drink heavily every weeked for the last couple of months. Not to puking point but I still black out on some nights. However this last three day weekend of partying has got me concerned. I haven't drank anything in 48 hours other then water and green tea and yet I still have a massive pain in the left side of my chest and I've having a hard time taking in deep breathes. Could you help me with this?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Left sided chest pain and breathing difficulty in alcoholic patients should always be evaluated for heart diseases.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Acute gastritis due to alcohol can also cause similar symptoms.
So take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach twice daily. Avoid alcohol in future.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
