What Is The Treatment For Chest Pain And Tingling In Calf And Are They Related?
Hi I am approaching 42 and female. Sine before Christmas, I have been suffering with pressure in the middle of my chest that never seems to go away. sometime the pain radiates to the middle of my back. I have had blood tests, chest x-rays and an ecg - everything was normal - blood pressure fine and oxygen level at 100%. I was told it was possible muscle strain and to take co codemal 500mg. I still have the pressure all be it has improved but is still there but I now have a tingling in my right calf muscle. Is this related?? Should I be overly worried. I never did get a def diagnosis as to my chest pains - no other symptoms. I did have the flu jab just before all this happened and a cold but the Drs have told me there is no link - please advise.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern. Tingling in right calf and Chest pressure are not related to each other. And no need to worry for major heart and lung related diseases because your all reports are normal.
In my opinion, you are mostly having GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause central chest pain and Chest pressure.
So avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic drugs.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
