Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
In my opinion, we should first rule out cardiac cause for your symptoms. So get done ecg and 2d echo. If both are normal, than no need to worry for heart diseases.
You are mostly having stress and anxiety related GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of burning chest pain.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Along with pepcid, avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
