How Must Intermittent Chest Pain And Left Rib Pain Along With Heart Burn Be Treated When A Teenager Is Diagnosed With Peptic Ulcer?
Question: 12 years ago i was diagnosed with a peptic ulcer. Since have had heartburn and left rib and chest pain come and go.
When I have strong heartburn my blood pressure can go up to 140/90 or 150/90 and will go back down after bowel movements.
I also feel tired when I get heartburn and sometimes my legs feels shaky. I am not sure if it is physical shakes or mental shakes due to anxiety.
