Suggest Medication For Pain Between Chest And Back After Eating Junk Food

yesterday I ate all the wrong things.....popcorn, soda, burrito filled with pork and cheese (I only ate half) I woke up in the night with a pain between my breasts (on the breast bone) and it radiated into my back. It went away and now I have had it again this morning. I feel like if I could burp it would relieve the pain.....but I can't. Could this be gall bladder? Does it sound like heart attack symptoms? I have no other symptoms but the above described.

Hello
You ate pop corn, soda, burrito and on the same day in the night ( after 6 -8 hours of these food items ) there was excruciating pain the chest and also radiating in the back .
The reason of such pain is Hyper acidity or gastritis as it causes burning sensation in the esophagus ( call as esophagitis ) that's why pain referred in the back.
Take some antacid ( better if it contains oxetacaine ) but if symptoms are severe ( pain and nausea or vomiting ) you may need drugs like proton pump inhibitors like pantoprazole+domperidone , once or twice as required .
Avoid alcohol, drinks with caffeine in them , spicy , greasy , oily foods .
Also avoid pizza, burger , hot dogs ( acid producing substance ) sweets as all these items , if taken in large quantity produces hyper acidity .hence all these symptoms which you are having.
Hope this will help you.
