Thanks for ypur question onHCM. In my opinion you are having hyper acidity and GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease).
But as a rule any left sided chest pain should be looked for cardiac cause. So I advice you to first get done ECG to rule out cardiac cause.
And if this is normal than chances of GERD are more. And you are also having bad food habits since 3-4 days which also favours diagnosis of GERD. So try to follow this steps.
1. Avoid heavy meals and start taking small meals.
2. Avoid hot and spicy food.
3. Avoid stress and tension.
4. Take good antacids like ptoton pump inhibitors.
5. Go for walk after meals.
