Why Am I Having Pain In Chest And Empty Stomach Symptoms?

I am 34, I am overweight too, a few days back, I was having chest pains in the center of my chest, antacids helped, it felt more like an undissolved pill in my chest than anything. That pain has now gone. But has been replaced by this weird jittery feeling inside that you would normally get by drinking coffee and not eating, although I am eating. My stomach is also kind of week feeling. I am not really dizzy although my head does feel weird. And to top that off, it's hard to stay warm, then I get a hot flash every now and again. What could this be?

Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted your history and understood your concerns.
The chest pain in the center is certainly due to GERD, esophagitis as it has been resolved by antacids. The jittery feeling like having coffee on empty stomach indicates gastritis.
I would advise you the following in such a situation:
Get an upper GI Endoscopy to get the correct diagnosis so that a proper course of a PPI like Omeprazole can be done as also to continue antacid gel at 3 hourly interval to combat the acidity related problems.
Soft bland diet and small frequent feeds.
Avoid stress and anxiety as this is the cause in many a cases.
