For a period of  2 weeks I have been sporadically having a pressure feeling in the center of my chest followed by mild acid reflux or indigestion. It only lasts for 3 to 5 minutes each time. Should I be concerned? I dont have health insurance and cant really afford to go to the doctor to get checked. Thank you so much!
Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.... According to history provided by you here you can have the following possibility...-Pain by acid re flux(referred pain)-Musculoskeletal pain-Bronchitis (if cough present)Take rest... Avoid strenuous exercise... For pain analgesic can be taken... Hot pad applied over chest for relief from pain.... For acid reflux take pantoprazole . Head elevated while sleeping... For rule out bronchitis chest x-ray can be done..... If still no improvement further work up done with echocardiography, treadmill test and D dimer ... D dimer is for rule out pulmonary embolism if suspected.(sudden increase chest pain).... Take care
