I drank small glass of pedialyte then got chest discomfort didnt last long could it be the pedialyte i drank?

i doubt it. The act of swallowing opened the stomach entrance & likely allowed a backflow of some stomach acid. When stomach acid backwashes up the bottom of the swallow tube you can get "heartburn". Pedialyte has nothing in it that should bother anyone.
