Considering your symptoms and test results, it's possible that your chest pain is related to:

Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) Esophageal spasm Musculoskeletal issue

Consult a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.

They may recommend additional tests, such as an endoscopy or pH monitoring.

In the meantime, continue with the antiacid and anti-gas medications as prescribed.

I'm having some trouble with my legs and feet at night. They start hurting, and my feet get warm, usually lasting an hour or two. I end up having to put cold water on my feet a couple of times to get some sleep. By morning, they still feel numb. I'm worried this might be something serious. Do you think I should see a specialist, and if so, what kind?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms related to nerve compression or poor circulation, such as in conditions like peripheral neuropathy or restless leg syndrome. I recommend visiting a **neurologist** or a **vascular specialist** to get a thorough evaluation and proper diagnosis. It's important to address these symptoms to prevent any potential worsening of the condition.
