Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. As per your complain you have problem of burning sensation in chest that may be because of gastroesophageal reflux disease. Anxiety and stress can aggravate a condition. Consult a physician for further diagnosis.
Proper physical examination and history give exact idea. ECG can done for further diagnosis I will advise you to some diet and lifestyle modifications that helpful in reflux disease. Avoid citrus foods, spicy food, alcohol drinking, smoking, coffee and chocolate. Drink more water per day. Avoid stress and anxiety. Yoga and meditation is helpful to you. Eat a small amount of meal and chew properly. Avoid immediate lying down after meal. Do Walking after meal. Elevate your head during sleeping by two cushion.
