What Causes Chest Pain While Having Excess Of Sugar Or Salt Food?
Hello, Emma here! Once in a while when I eat food with too much sugar or salt, I get chest pains. Maybe this is a good sign from the body, telling me to stop eating bad food, but it makes me wonder if I should have my heart checked. What would you recommend?

Hello Emma and thank you for choosing HCM to post your question.
I read carefully your question and in my opinion your chest pain is not related to heart disease since it doesnt have the carachteristics of a cardiac chest pain.The fact that the pain is related with the consummation of food like sugar and salt,makes me think about gastroesophageal reflux disease although you dont describe other symptoms.In this case the best treatment is to modificate your life style.(Avoiding sugar,salt and other kinds of food that provoke pain)
Wish you good health.
Kind regards
Dr.Dushi
