Whenever I eat cucumber or curd; a few hours later I get chest pain (feeling like swelling in lungs) and inability to belch in presence of chest pains (it feels like belch but it does not comes out). This pain do not goes away easily and some back pain (center and shoulder) also starts. Usually it goes away in a couple of days. This I am feeling since long.
Irritation in throat by aerosol based perfume, deo, room freshener, insect killer etc.
Chronic gastritis, erosive Duodenitis and H Pylori :- medication ongoing.
Minor nerve pinching at L3-L4, L4-L5, L5-S1 - medicine (Vit B injection) to be started in a couple of days.
CECT thorax - Benign nodule (5mm) in right upper lung, Doctor says that it might be result of old (not active now) TB and no need to worry. No other abnormality observed.
Lung Function Test normal.

Brief Answer:
Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD)
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on Healthcaremagic.
You are suffering from a condition called Gastro esophageal reflux disease (GERD) which occurs due to chronic gastritis and erosive duodenitis and is due to infection with H pylori. It is commonly referred to as heartburn and occurs when gastric acid refluxes into the lower part of esophagus and causes the pain in lower central or left side of the chest.
The diagnosis is done by a upper GI endoscopy along with urease breath test but I believe that it has already been done and the result is positive.
Treatment is with anti H pylori regimen for stipulated duration (may vary with the regimen) and omeprazole for one and a half months.
I am sure that the ongoing treatment will be successful in giving you resolution from your symptoms.

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking back.
Curd or protein containing foods is known to increase gastric acid production. If the amount of acid is more, the chances of reflux automatically increase. Certain foods specifically cause this. In your case cucumber is such a food.
