Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are not related to the heart.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome back to Ask a Doctor service!

I understand your concern and would like to reassure you that your symptoms are not related to the heart.

In my opinion, your situation could be attributed to the hormonal changes, due to your menstrual cycle.

I don't think that this is anything concerning!

Just try to relax and don't worry about it!

There is no need to perform any additional cardiac tests.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Wishing all the best,

It seems to be costochondritis.

Tylenol or ibuprofen can help reduce the pain.

Brief Answer:
Your symptoms could be related to costochondritis.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Based on your description it seems to be just local inflammation, probably costochondritis.

So, there is nothing to worry about your heart!

I would just recommend taking ibuprofen or tylenol and have some rest.

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

I understand your concern and would like to reassure you that your symptoms are not related to the heart.
You should know that cardiac chest pain is not related to eating.

Your symptoms are typical of the stomach.
For this reason I would recommend taking omeprazole in the morning every day for a week.

If this situation persists, I would recommend performing a fibrogastroscopy.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask me again!

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

I understand your concern and as a Cardiologist I would like to reassure you that your symptoms are not related to the heart.

In my opinion, your symptoms could be related to gastritis or costochondritis.

If ibuprofen helps improve your situation, I would conclude about costochondritis.

Otherwise, if ibuprofen does not help or even worsens your situation, I would recommend considering gastritis. In such case fibrogastroscopy would be necessary.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!
