Suggest Treatment For Severe Headache And Heartburn

Hi, I have this weird feeling in my chest that comes and goes away, sort of feels like heartburn. I woke up and had a terrible headache, felt very hit and this was happening. Thought it was just heartburn so took a few antacid tablets to no avail. It seated getting better throughout the day, but the chest feeling is still there, just not as bad. Im not sure if I ve given you enough information, but thank you regardless. Cheers.

Thank you for choosing HCM

I think that you have acidity which can be causing the headache. In some cases, acidity can act as a trigger factor for headaches.

In 4 percent of cases, acidity or any type of chest pain can be due to heart disease or heart attacks. This is why it is important to see a Physician or ER and get checked up.

The Physician or the ER will do an ECG to help to get to the diagnosis. You can use it to rule out Heart disease.

Once the heart disease is ruled out, you can take 20 ml of Pepto-Bismol to help with the recovery. The Pepto-Bismol will help fight off the acidity. This will also help control the headache.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Hope this helps you
