Chest pain: Could be reflux, Try maalox, ranitidine or prevecid. Would check for H pylori (a bacteria that worsens reflux, gastritis) Avoid soda,caffeine, energy drinks,alcohol spicy food, fatty foods ( all exacerbate reflux). May be asthma from reflux or lung compression from sleeping flat) Rarely e mitral valve prolapse ) or other cardiac issue. Get EKG, peak flow, f/u with doctor//urgent care.
