Hi,
It is quite possible that you might have developed gastritis/acidity issues due to taking too many medications for your chronic pain. Antacids or proton pump inhibitors like Pantoprazole might help. Do consult your doctor regarding this and also rule out any cardiac issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan, General & Family Physician
