Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes The Feeling Of Obstruction In Chest Along With Pain?
I am a 47 year female and for the last 6-8 weeks I feel like I have a pill stuck directly in the middle of my chest. I had burning with it initially but my Dr. prescribed Prilosec and that has helped. But it wont go away completely and on top of that I have pain in the thoracic area that goes up my neck and down my arms but never at the same time. I have an ultrasound of my gall bladder along with a hida scan. Any advice would be helpful. My pain is mild to severe. Thank you.
Hello, It depends upon your risk factors. If you have significant risk factors for heart disease you may need a stress test. If not you may need an upper endoscopy done to look at your esophagus and stomach. Regards
