60 yr old mail suffering form pectus excavatum.  I have mild pain in upper left chest along with lots of burping.  I have had this before and now is a particularly stressful time.  Might this be angina or worse or is it likely just indigestion.  I dont have heart burn.
Hello and thanks for writing. I can understand your concern and would try to help you in the best possible way. Your problems seem to be due to acid reflux or indigestion only. However, the possibility of cardiac disease may be ruled out by simple investigations like ECG or stress test. It is prudent to understand your medical history in a better way to get some clues regarding your condition. I suggest you see a doctor who may obtain a comprehensive history and relevant physical examination to guide the diagnostic workup for you.In the meantime you may try things like:1. Avoid spicy food and fast foods2. Take regular exercise like walks3. Take a high fiber low fat diet4. Take you dinner early and do not go to bed immediately after meals.
