What Causes Left Sided Chest Pain At Night After Eating?
Question: Hi doctor
I've been having a pain in the chest.. The left side near the breast area..It becomes painful esp after eating dinner.. The pain wld be constant all the way till bedtime.. I'm not sure if I have any heart problems..
But I have done ECG before. Twice! All came out negative. Did went to see a GP but told me it is probably Gastric!
I mean gastric can affect the chest? Esp on the left side? GP suggested to start dinner early. But i'm still having the pain. But the weird thing is.. It happens only at night! I dont have chestpain in the noon, no matter how much i ate for lunch!
Dont wish to go Emergency everytime the chest pain comes up. But got brushed "Oh its nthg!" Bcos its so uncomfortable.. Esp gg to bed thinking "am I having heart attack now? Shld i go ER?" Lying on the bed facing left is not comfy too with the chest pain.
& yes im suffering from PCOS. It been 6mths i had my menses. But No, i'm not pregnant.
Need your kindest advice doctor..
