Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and whenever a patient complains of chest pain, the usual protocol which I follow is:

1. Is it related to heart, so one must check with Cardiologist to get an EKG [electrokardiogram] done to rule out any cardiac issue and also to exclude risk factors, such as:
. check blood pressure
. check lipid profile
. check blood sugar

2. If chest pain is related with food [heart burn,belching] it might be pain of acid reflux [GERD] or due to indigestion/gas thus general physician examination and/or Gastroenterologist opinion [endoscopy for esophagitis/ultrasound for gall bladder stones] becomes necessary.

PS. Tingling in hands could be due to cause and effect of gastric problem but one may check with a Rheumatologist for any hidden reason.

3. Since mangoes are rich in dietary fiber, which reduces water retention and decreases inflammation thus can be one theory behind ease in digestion issues.

4. Do let me know about the exact pathology behind his complaints so that treatment and management can be directed to the known cause.

Thank You doctor! We did ekg and stress test with a cardiologist and everything came out fine. Indigestion seems to be going away but the tingling in hands has returned. He also has a bit if head tingling...does that happen with gastro problems. Also sometimes his arms get numb after sleeping. He has been a little too tired the past couple of days.

Thanks for reverting back.

1. Since Cardiologist opinion and Investigations are normal thus following is further necessary information;

i. Tingling in upper limb:
. is he alcoholic?
. X-ray cervical spine - for cervical spondylitis
. check for carpal tunnel syndrome?
. blood sugar for diabetes and serum calcium level.

PS. give methycobalamin and B complex till investigations report come and Orthopedic surgeon opinion and also what the Gastroenterologist have to say.
