What Causes Pain In Chest While On Medications For GERD?

Hi - I have been diagnosed with GERD and am taking 30mg of prevacid daily. I also get pvc's, which are benign as I am told. The last couple of days my chest pain has come and gone and sometimes is very painful. I have been taking more Tums than usual too. I just want to make sure that this is not heart related. I have been to the ED recently 2 months ago and nothing is shown on the EKG. Is this something I should worry about? My pvc's are about 1 per minute.



Thank you.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Since you are diagnosed case of PVC (premature ventricular contraction), we should first rule out cardiac diseases for your chest pain.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
