But yah can you help me with my pains in my chest? And im kind of stupid cause i somtimes smoke a hookah pen (water vapor) and maybe that has somthing to do with it? Please help!
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Since your chest pain is associated with eating, and you are eating junk good too, in my opinion you are having HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) mostly. But better to rule out cardiac cause for chest pain. So get done ECG. If ECG is normal than HERD appears more for your chest pain. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid if the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. So try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in HERD.1. Avoid stress and tension.2. Avoid hot and spicy food.3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.4. Avoid junk food.5. Take proton pump inhibitor.6. Go for walk after meals.7. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed to prevent reflux.8. Quit hookah.Don't worry, you will be alright.
