Heartburn or Acid Reflux

As my doctor examined all the test results of my check up, it was not at all heart attacked. My BP is on the average or acceptable for a hypertensive like me, my CBC is clear, other vital signs are okay. But why is it that I am exeriencing pain on my chest and upper back? Why am I gasping for air and felt blotted.

The culprit is that I have so much acid in my system and I am experiencing ACID reflux or Heartburn which basically made my upper chest painful.

My doctor advised me to stop or minimize intakes of foods that cause it. These foods are coffee, tea, acid drinks, chocolates, tomato based foods, fatty foods and sugary foods.

He also prescribe antacids for sudden occurrence of the pain and pain reliever. For now, I am trying to avoid those foods that cause it and by GODS grace and intervention I can now start goin to the gym.
