Is Chest Pain On The Left Side Indicative Of Gastric?

Posted on Thu, 2 Aug 2018

Question: I am experiencing slight pain on the left side of the chest from past 3 days. Not sure if this could be due to gastric or something else. Should I get a cardiologist opinion?

I had taken medication for throat infection a week ago, Novomax and Ascoril. BP was normal and no fever was there.

Hi XXXXXXX

Thanks for posting the query

As you have taken antibiotic in the last week, the pain could be most probably cause of gastritis. I suggest you to take Tab. Rabekind DSR 1 tablet 2 times a day and Tab.Nucoxia MR 1 tablet 2 times a day for 3 days. If pain still persists You better consult cardiologist once.

Take care.
