Can Gallstones Cause Chest Pain With Acidic Feelings?

hello doctor,i have been suffering from pain in the upper chest and an acidic feeling in that area for over 5 years now. in 2007, multiple gall stones were detected as an incidental finding. i have gone through ecg and tmt and the cardiologists believe i have no cardiac issues. also a few years back i was prescribed actibile and felt much better with it but gave it up in month as i seemed to be putting up a lot of weight due to increased appetite. i am 49 years of age and weigh 83 kg , 5 ft 11 inches. please let me know if these pains be due to the stones? regards, jagat

HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for posting your query.

Your acidic feeling could be due to gall stones because it may cause problems in fat digestion.

Gall stones can also cause pain but that will be restricted to right upper side of abdomen but not in upper chest.

Since cardiac causes of chest pain has been evaluated and ruled out , the other possible cause that can explain chest pain is Gastric Ulcers or Pancreatitis.

For this I advise you to get Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and serum Amylase level and revert back with reports.

Hope this information is useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
