Suggest Remedy For Pain And Heaviness In Chest

I have had pains in the middle of the chest below or in the lower center of the chest. I have a heavy feeling of something in the same area when I wake up and it feels like some organ is there or something. After waking up and standing the pain and the feeling goes away. I have a trapezium strain on the left side at the same time for the last four days. What is going on?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of lower central chest pain, chest tightness, pressure, heaviness, gaseous distention of stomach etc.
So take proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
