Hi,
Pain in the chest (behind chest bone) can be a sign of reflux esophagitis secondary to excessive caffeine intake & in that case, it should go away after stopping caffeine.
The esophageal damage already caused can be eased by having bland, frequent & small servings of food. Sucking over the counter Gellicil pills would help. Go for the stress test already planned if pain still persists after weaning off caffeine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Vasudha Jayant Athavale, General & Family Physician
