What Causes Constant Intense Heartburn, Pain Radiating In Sternum, Arm And Back?
Brief Answer:
Acid reflux disease is a possibility
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to Healthcaremagic.
Hi, I am Dr Anshul Varshney , I have read your query in detail , I understand your concern.
This is very unlikely to be from the stent that you have in your coronary arteries. This seems to be acid reflux disease that can result from Aspirin, the anti-platelet drug that you must be taking for your cardiac issues.
I would advise you to take a combination of Pantoprazole and Domperidone and to take anti flatulent and anti acidity syrup like Digene/Gelusil for symptomatic relief.
Don't consume any alcohol. Alcohol is totally prohibited even if you consume alcohol in less quantities , as even small amount of alcohol can precipitate acid reflux.
You should get an Ultrasound Abdomen and ECG to rule out any gall bladder issues and cardiac issues respectively from these investigations.
This is my personal opinion based on details available here. If you still have any other query, you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy.
