The first thing I assumed because of you age and symptoms was the presence of GERD. I would not go as far to assume it to be Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, relax :-).Are you taking medications for your GERD (Protonix, Nexium, Prilosec?) If you aren't your GERD needs to be managed with any of the above mentioned. Prilosec does not need a prescription so it can be found in your local drug store.You should also have tums (calcium carbonate handy) to chew when you get such symptoms. Last and most important you must modify what you eat and how you behave. Chocolate, tomatoe sauce, caffeine, peppermint, greasy foods, overeating, tight clothing, laying down immedicately after eating) are all factors that cause it.SO although many things cause CHEST PAIN, lets start with the most obvious and see if it is the cause. Goodluck
