Burning Sensation In Chest And Numb Face. ECG Normal. What Are The Precaution To Be Taken?

My Brother aged 32 had a burning sensation in his chest after having his breakfast today. After this he also felt numbness in his face for some time and after 15-20 mins he was fine and there was no numbness. He took a ECG test and the report was normal. Please let us know the consequences of numbness and the precautions he needs to take

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

It will be helpful if give more information on :-
1. What your brother ate in his breakfast?
2. Is he on any medicine?

After reading your post, it seems that symptoms of your brother can be due to increased acidity in the stomach.

Following precautions will be helpful :-
1. Avoid spicy/oily foods.
2. Do not miss meal.
3. Avoid smoking/alcohol, if any.
4. Avoid emotional/mental stress.
5. Do not self medicate, especially with painkillers and steroids.
6. Drink at least 8-10 glasses of water daily.

He can be given an antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg once a day before breakfast.

If the problem recurs, get him clinically examined and investiagted.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
