What Causes Intermittent Throat Irritation And Chest Pain?
Question: Hi Doctor,
Hope you are doing good !!
I am having some little difficulty still. Below is the condition -
Throat Irritation is less frequent now and happens sometimes in alternative days
Chest pain is also sporadic and less frequent
I have started taking Prilosec ( Omeprazol Delayed Release 20 MG tablet) and that improves my gas condition. Also I am also finding it improves the throat irritation as well as the sudden chest pains
Can I take the Prilosec tablet twice a day before meal and also can I continue taking for one month? As of now I am taking it once in a day only for last 10 days
Also sometimes when I inhale some pain is there in the muscles in chest but that is not all time. When I press the ribs and Chest wall it sometime hurts and post that inhalation leads to some pain in chest. Please suggest if it is serious.
