Hi

Welcome To Ask A Doctor Service


possible causes of chest pain:

1. Coronary artery disease (CAD): CAD occurs when there is a narrowing or blockage in the blood vessels that supply the heart. This can lead to chest pain called angina. Other symptoms may include shortness of breath, fatigue, and jaw or arm pain.

2. Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD): Acid reflux from the stomach can cause a burning sensation in the chest known as heartburn. It may worsen after eating or when lying down.

3. Costochondritis: This condition involves inflammation of the cartilage that connects the ribs to the breastbone. It can cause localized chest pain that may worsen with movement or deep breathing.

Get following test done

1. Electrocardiogram (ECG/EKG): This test measures the electrical activity of the heart to evaluate heart rhythm and detect any abnormalities.

2. Stress test: This involves exercising on a treadmill or using medication to simulate the effects of exercise on the heart. It helps assess how well the heart functions during physical activity.

3. Chest X-ray: This imaging test can help evaluate the structures of the chest, including the heart, lungs, and ribs, to identify potential causes of chest pain.

You can use following medicine



Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs): These medications reduce stomach acid production and can help alleviate chest pain caused by GERD.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs): Over-the-counter NSAIDs like ibuprofen or prescription NSAIDs can help reduce inflammation and relieve pain associated with costochondritis.

If no improvement with these then need to visit doctor personally, I for examination and test I advised.
I Hope Your Query is clear now.
