Hello , thank you for choosing healthcare magic

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
