Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having hyperacidity related chest pain.
But better to first rule out heart related chest pain because it is on left side of chest.
So first get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Follow these steps for acidity related chest pain.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food.
2. Avoid stress and tension.
3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
4. Take antacid ( pantoprazole) tablet on empty stomach.
5. Go for walking after meals.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
I find this answer helpful
