To alleviate gastritis symptoms, try home remedies like ginger tea, chamomile tea, aloe vera juice, avoiding spicy or fatty foods, eating bland foods like bananas or yogurt, taking antacids or acid reducers, staying hydrated, and practicing stress-reducing techniques like deep breathing or meditation.

Your symptoms—upper abdominal pain, chest pain, and left arm pain—could indicate various conditions, including acid reflux, gastritis, gallbladder issues, or even heart-related concerns like angina or a heart attack. Given your age (40 years), weight (97 kg), and symptoms, it’s crucial to rule out any cardiac issues immediatly
Next Steps
If the chest pain is severe, radiating, accompanied by sweating, nausea, shortness of breath, or dizziness, go to the emergency room (ER) immediately.
Heart conditions can present atypically in women, so don't ignore these symptoms.
Assess Other Symptoms
If the pain is burning, worsens after eating, or is relieved by antacids, it might be acid reflux or gastritis.
If there’s nausea, vomiting, or right-sided pain, it could be gallbladder-related.
Until You See a Doctor:
Avoid heavy, spicy, or fatty foods.
Drink warm water slowly.
Rest and avoid exertion
