Hi For awhile ive been getting chest pain in the left side just under and around my breast area, Ive seen doctors about it but none have actually been able to help me . .. my diet had been pretty bad during the time I started getting the chest pain for other reasons I started eating better and have noticed now everytime I eat something sugary or a very large meal the pain comes back, any ideas what is going on? Thank you

Hello,
An ECG must be taken to rule out cardiac causes like angina even though the chances are low.
Conditions like gastritis can also cause similar symptoms. If symptoms persist, it is better to consult a physician and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
