Hi, I have been having very brief stints of pain lasting only a couple seconds in certain spots in my chest and my throat tends to swell up occasionally also. I went to the doctor a few weeks ago and was treated for acid reflux but my symptoms are still occurring. I also feel a little strange after physical activity. Just wondering if you can help to see if this is something serious that I need to have checked right away?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, we should definitely rule out heart diseases for your chest pain. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test. If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Uncontrolled acid reflux can also cause similar symptoms. So take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination twice daily on empty stomach. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Avoid hot and spicy food. Go for walking after meals.Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
