Yes, chest heaviness can be caused by both gastric problems and anxiety. For gastric issues, you can try taking antacids like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice daily before meals to reduce stomach acid. For anxiety, you can try **Escitalopram** 10mg once daily in the morning to help manage your symptoms. It is important to also make lifestyle changes such as avoiding trigger foods for gastric issues and practicing relaxation techniques for anxiety.
