Suggest Treatment For Pain In Left Breast When Diagnosed With Arthritis
Question: Yesterday and today I have been experiencing pain in my left breast after drinking a liquid or eating something. What is this? I am 76 1/2 years old, have arthritis, but am in good health.
Brief Answer:
Gastritis
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
In all likelihood it is gastritis which is causing this type of pain. This is how you should go about it
1. Tab omeprazole once a day on an empty stomach for 5 days will reduce pain
2. Avoid milk and milk products until you are better
3. Keep your food bland and free from spice
4. Avoid caffeine, smoking and alcohol
5. I would also like you to approach your GP for an EKG to rule out ischemic heart
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
