Reason For Sudden Chest Pain?
Hello Doctor,
I experienced a pain at my chest level which was sort of heavyness and gradually it started to prick every often. (more or less like a pin point prick). I thought it would have been for gastic or due to stress. However to be on safer side I consulted the cardiac surgeon who inturn suggested me to undergo few tests like ECG, TMT, 2d echo, thyroid test s all reports are o.k. what is the reason

Hello
Thanks for your query.
In all probability the pain may be due to gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) for which you need to take pantoprazole tablet twice daily before food along with life style modification like avoidance of fatty, spicy and fast food, small but frequent bland diet, daily water intake 3-4 litre per day and head end elevation during sleep with a healthy bowel habit. Initially you will adhere to this protocol for 7 days. If improvement is there you have to continue it for at least 6 weeks.
Thank you.
Regards
Dr Arnab Maji
