Hi,
Is it squeezing type of pain radiating to the left arm and jaw or burning pain? First type of pain is due to heart ischemia while second one is because of hyperacidity. Sometimes muscular spasms can also cause pain in chest.
My advice is that you should have ECG which will rule out cardiac pain. If it is normal you can take capsule Omeprazole and then Diclofenac + Chlorzoxazone combination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
