Suggest Treatment For Burning In Chest Radiating To Right Back And Shoulder

For the past few weeks I get intermittent burning in my chest in the mid to right side that also radiates to my right back/ shoulder blade. I've had heartburn rarely before but not this intense. Antacids help but only sort of. No other symptoms. Sometimes it occurs daily and sometimes there are days without it occurring.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and related symptoms.
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of chest pain.
Only antacids are not useful to control this. You need to follow these lifestyle modifications for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid stress and tension.
2. Avoid hot and spicy food.
3. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
4. Go for walk after meals. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits.
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.
