Hi

Thanks for asking.

Chest pain is a serious condition which needs to be properly investigated.

Various causes of the chest pain are:

angina- cardiac cause
gastroesophageal reflux
esophageal spasm
muscular.

Please get yourself investigated rather than taking medication from the chemist.

Thanks.
