Hello,
Pain in the chest may be due to acid reflux or esophagitis or bronchitis or cardiac pain. But in your case it may be respiratory in origin probably. Use tablet Pantaprazole before breakfast for one week. Use tablet amoxicillin and Clavulinic acid 625 mg (if you're not allergic) for five days. If no improvement please consult with your physician he will take chest X-ray and ECG then treat you accordingly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
