Hi Sir/Mam,

I understand your query and concern.

Your symptoms could be suggestive of ongoing Myocardial ischemia or Acid reflux disease.

I advise you to get an ECG,2D Echo,lipid profile immediately to rule out MI.

Drugs like Antiplatelets,Antacids like Pantoprazole will be given.

Avoid spicy food,smoking and alcohol if any.

Regular exercise for 30 min will help.

Monitor blood pressure and hear rate.

Consult your doctor for expert management.

Post your further queries if any,

Thank you.
