Chest Pain Spreading To Throat. Normal ECG. High Cholesterol Level. Prescribed Nexium. Need Help
Hi, Since last 2 weeks I am feeling pain in upper chest that spreads to throat. My cardiologist is of the opinion it is GERD. He did my ECG it was normal. My total cholesterol is 203 and LDL is 133.
I wish it is GERD; but what confuses me is that it worsens while walking and climbing stairs. I told him the symptoms and he still believes it is GERD. He has put me on Nexium 40mg twice a day.
Who will help me on this?
