Brief Answer: Please run cardiac&GI tests and consultation first Detailed Answer: Hello XXXXX, Your situation is not to be frightened until the fear of dying. I strongly suggest to do the screening of the heart (ECG, Holter, and cardiac echo) together with GI consult to rule out GERD or gastritis. Meanwhile, I suggest to take OTC painkillers and have strict diet regimen: -avoid alcohol and smoking -avoid chillies, fatty or sugary/processed foods -drink more water -eat slowly, often and small portions Looking forward to have the results of your tests in.

Brief Answer: Try not to avoid stress and anxiety... Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXX, If your chest X-ray and ECG were ok, then, it is most likely a neuro-muscular pain or because you are too anxious. Try to relax, avoid alcohol and smoking or other drugs. Wish you health! Dr.Klerida

Brief Answer: Please follow the answer below... Detailed Answer: Hi XXXXX, Thank you for your wishes; the same to you too. At this point, I suggest to - take pain-killers - start omeprazole while you take pain-killers - do more physical activity - avoid drinking alcohol or smoking - do not take/smoke any other drug If no improvement, and other tests are ok, consult neurologist. Hope it answered to your inquiries! Wish you health! Dr.Klerid
