Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have recurring pinching sensation in chest. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like acid reflux , chest infection or angina . I would suggest you to eat light and non spicy , eat atleast one hour before going to bed , keep your head elevated while sleeping and take antacid after every meal . If condition doesn't get well then consult cardiologist for proper examination , who may order troponin t test along with ECG , TMT and complete blood profile . Doctor may prescribe isosorbide nitrate , aspirin , betablockers or may refer you to chest specialist in case of chest problem .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
