Retrosternal pain: You may have an inflammation of the esophagus or esophageal motility disorder. Avoid spicy foods, alcohol,caffeine,chocolate and irritants like aspirin,ibuprofen or naproxen. Take a medication like famotidine to stop acid production. If not improved I recommend consulting a gastroenterologist for evaluation treatment.
