Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have exercise induced asthma and have lately experienced sharp pains in the right hand side of my chest and above my heart on the left. It was so painful it stopped me in my tracks whilst at running training, but after a few seconds or so it went away. However, I also got the same pain whilst watching tv (obviously a non-exercise related activity) and it was really scary. Sometimes I get heart palpitations too but don't know if any of this is linked, should I go to see a doctor? I don't want to be a hyperchondriact or anything like that but it is starting to worry me.
Hello, Most probably an acidity and gastritis. Do you also have upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in throat or chest burning, these are the other symptoms and may be associated. Still you should get one ecg done to rule out heart issue. You should avoid fatty, oily and spicy diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. You can get prescribed tab Pan DSR 40 mg or esomiprazole domperidone combination beforebreakfast once a day for 2 weeks. If not adequately relieved, then you should add Syr sucral O or gelusil two teaspoon three times a day for a week. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
