Left-sided Chest Pain, Shaking. Taking Nexim For Stomach Ulcers. Causes For Chest Pain?
hi over the last couple days now i have been getting a pain in my left hand side of my chest ,this morning when i woke up i had the pain then i started shaking for around 5 mins,most of the time during the day i 100% fine. just to let you know that about a year ago i was very unwell and went to the doctor and i was told that i had a hole in my stomach and was then prescribed to nexim 40mg,im not sure if this maybe causing this acheing in my chest.
Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
As such there is no possibility of hole in stomach as stomach contents come outside in the peritoneal cavity and infection may spread.
You are most likely suffering from peptic ulcer disease with associated esophagitis (Food pipe erosions).
Chest pain may be due to involvement of esophagus or may be due to muscle sprain.
You should consult with internal medicine specialist & chest physician simultaneously.
You should go for endoscopy and chest x ray on preliminary basis.
You should take proton pump inhibitors along with muscle relaxants.
Take care,
Dr. Mayank Bhargava
