What Is The Treatment For Burning Sensation In The Chest?

Dear Doctor,

I have been feeling a burning sensation in my chest on and off over the past 1 week. My Bp reads normal which is between 120/77 to 135/80. I have visited 2 doctors who have both prescribed medication for gastric. I have no numb feeling however i do feel that my heart is beating rather fast at times. Appreciate your opinion on this.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Burning sensation in chest with palpitations (feeling of fast heart beats) should be evaluated for heart diseases.
So get done ecg, 2d echo, Holter monitoring (24 hours continuous recording of Ecg).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes undiagnosed stress and anxiety can also cause similar symptoms.
So avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
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.
