Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Chest pain on eating and drinking is seen mostly due to 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 burning chest pain.
So avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
Start proton pump inhibitors.
Go for walk after meals.
Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux disease.
Don't worry, you will be alright with these lifestyle modifications.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
