Brief Answer:
It is most likely Gastritis, but if you are worried then get investigated
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your question.
Does the tightness increase after eating or drinking something or on prolonged sitting?
Do you have a sedentary job and/or lifestyle?
It is most likely Gastritis or Acid Peptic disease.
You should consult a Gastroenterologist who can do an Upper GI Endoscopy as you are worried about cancer. If that doubt was not there then I would have adviced you one to three months of acid reducing medicines like Tab Pantooprazole plus Domperidone twice a day on empty stomach, that is half an hour before meals.
But if cancer is a worry then an Upper GI Endoscopy and a CECT Scan of the abdomen would be the investigations of choice.
Stomach cancers usually do not present with pain. They usually present in advanced stages with weakness, debility and generalized malaise. Sometimes anemia or decreased Hemoglobin in the blood and weight loss are the signalling features.
Therefore, please think and do let me know if there are any queries regarding this issue and have a happy recovery.
Take care,

I took cbc today attached my report PDW is little elicated. Pls reply. Fear towards endoscopy and scan
Brief Answer:
CBC is perfectly normal.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your answer.
Your CBC report is perfectly normal.
I do not think you have cancer but without investigations I or no one else can be sure. If the CT was normal 2 years back then it is not required.
But you could get an Endoscopy done. Its a fairly simple test and you can then rest relaxed that you are fine.
Do not live in fear. Be confident and sure as you ARE healthy.
Believe in it.
Take care and feel free to ask anything anytime.
I will try and help you whenever.
Regards,
Dr Rishi.
