Ive had pain in my stomach/chest since August and I thought it was a uti. But seems like its just not going away Im guessing pneumonia and Ive been smoking 2 packs a day for 7 years and Im only 21. What do you think it is , oh and I have sleep deprivation I never sleep maybe this is another cause for it all. Please just throw answers at me. Im going to the clinic on friday again just like some feedback thank you.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are mostly having smoking induced HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). Smoking causes laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of burning chest pain. Sleep deprivation causes stress and anxiety, and they further worsen HERD. So better to first quit smoking as soon as possible. Take pantoprazole (antacid) tablet on empty stomach. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Consult psychiatrist for sleep deprivation. You will need counselling and mild sedative Chat Doctor.  Don't worry, you will be alright but first quit smoking. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
