hi, I am experiencing a pinpointed pain in my chest when i breathe in deeply. The pain if not intense, and i've had it since yesterday. it's, for the most-part, in the centre, but off to the slight left, It only hurts when I breathe in deeply, other than that, there is no pain. I'm curious about whether or not it could be serious

Hello Good Evening,

This seems to be peptic (gastric or duodenal) ulcers, which may cause pain, burning, nausea or even vomiting, but nothing to worry so hard.

You should go for a UGI endoscopy to rule out peptic ulcers, if symptoms persist.

Water benefits the body by aiding with digestion because it supports a majority of the body's daily functions.

Following steps should follows to lessen your symptoms:

-Walk after eating a meal.
-Exercise
-Avoid coffee and chocolates.
-Avoid Meals that are high in fat.
-Avoid extremely hot or cold food.
-Avoid alcohol and smoking

If needed then medication should be included antacids, PPI and digestive enzymes.

Regards,

Dr. Naresh Jain.
