Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Alcohol causes acute gastritis. And this causes chest pain, tightness etc. So better to avoid alcohol in the future. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach twice daily. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. You will mostly improve with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
