I have a acute pain near heart which has been troubling me from ten days. What may be the reason for this?

Question

Dear Lybrateuser,
-At your age your problem could be due to acidity, anxiety or sedentary habit
-do not skip meals, have meals on time, avoid fried, spicy & junk foods, avoid more than 1-2 cups of tea/coffee, chew your food well, have 4-5 small meals including snacks rather than three large meals, do not lye down for at least one hour after meals, have dinner 2-3 hrs before bedtime
-have 8-10 glasses of water for proper digestion
-do regular exercise like jogging, brisk walking, swimming for 20-30 min
-take syrup Gelusil, 2 teaspoonful half an hour after every meal three times a day
-if not much relief then consult a doctor as you will require investigations to be done to find out exact cause & its treatment.
