What Causes Burning Chest Pain Even For A Slight Exertion?
have burning chest pain with any slight exertion.Have been to docs and he said i have inflammation of the chest muscle an gave me anti-inflammatory tablets.That was a week ago an it is no better.I have gone from cycling 3 to 4 times a week to hardly being able to go up a flight of stairs with out having to stop until the pain subsides. He gave me an ecg an my heart is ok.
According to standards every chest pain should be considered of cardiac origin untill proven otherwise. I would like to know the nature of your chest pain , is it diffused or u can pinpoint it with your finger? If a patient with chest pain upon exertions comes to my clinic i would like to do "exercise tolerance test" also known as "stress" . This test basically records ecg of exercising heart
Other common causes of chest pain include GERD Peptic ulcer disease Gallbladder stones chostochondritis
If stress EKG comes normal , take PPI e.g omeprazole 40mg for Gerd which does present with cardiac like pain
I hope my response was helpful
Regards Dr.Shah
