Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain

I am 28 years old and I experienced chest pain after drinking for the first time last year. It happened after I had a couple rum and cokes. It starts at my breast bone and goes up through my shoulders and into my upper back. It feels like a muscle spasm through my shoulders. I want to curl my shoulders forward to relieve the pain as well as have someone pull them back. Its horrible and only lasts for about 15 to 20 minutes then I am ok again, with only a faint ache for a few hours afterwards. Tonight it happened again after drinking white alcohol. I had 3 white wine coolers and 2 beers in a 5 hour period of time. So, its not like I am intoxicated or binge drinking. Help!!!

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of alcohol induced gastritis and hyperacidity is more likely.
So better to avoid alcohol for 2 weeks.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
Take pantoprazole (antacid) on empty stomach twice daily.
Don't worry, you will be alright with this drug.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
