Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. As a rule in chest pain, we need to rule out cardiac cause first. So get done ECG. If ECG is normal then no need to worry about cardiac cause. Stress induced HERD appears more in your case. 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. So better to follow these steps. 1. Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Start proton pump inhibitors. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. 7. Avoid smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. 8. Lose weight if you are obese. Don't worry, you will be alright.
