Cardiologist,  's  Response
what kind of pain is this , does it occur on exertion, does it relieves on rest, have you tried tab Sorbitrate 5 mg sublingually.
My suggestion is you try tab sorbitrate sublingually and if it's getting relieved on it, it can suggest cardiac origin. Also, You can try antacid like pantoprazole 40 before breakfast for gastritis.
This can also be related be related to damage to nerve and tissue after surgery. So at last you can discuss with your physician regarding tab Pregabalin 75 mg bedtime which stabilizes nerve.
