Question: Dear Sir,
I would like to share a previous history of my quotations & advice of Dr. XXXXXXX form healthcare magic
Before that
I am healthy but I am confused bcoz other doctor said its a gastric problem, Its really?
or my anxity? when I take etiozom from 24th feb, its quit good result & when I sleep at 11 or 12 PM,
I woke up at 3 PM & 7 PM.
Briefly :
I’m 38,years male, 60 kg and I have been healthy all my life. I do not drink, smoke.
I have been having the chest pains in left Side rarely right side for about 3 to 4 years. Doctors said acidity-gastric problem, heartburn. but same problem regularly facing as chest pain feels like heating 10 out of 4 times. Also pain occurs sometimes then burping.
I have been to 3 different doctors 2 are physician & cardiologist..
Its very confusing My pain is usually in the left side of my chest is affecting my daily routine but I am doing all works.
Briefly : I have chest pain on my left side 10 out of 6 times, Some times when I move left or right suddenly, chest pain on my left side rapidly (some times sharp needle pain for micro seconds, after some time when I take rest its normal pain.
All tests/scans are normal, ECG, 2d-echo,
stress test,
Blood test, urine test,
lipid profile. Serum lipase, ultrasound test.
When I go for summer vacation last year in other state I have feel better with no chest pain. ( I doing job in pvt company in shift duty as well as my own print shop.)
Anxiety ? or restless work? Gastric Problem?
One important fact : I'm waking up at least twice per night, sometimes 3x, to pee., With saliva in mouth from 10 to 15 years & its disturbing my night sleep but I tried
Every time to take 8 hour sleep but 3hrs interval in each sleep.
7 year ago (I had suffering from migraine, when some work stress its happens with headache But its rarely.)

Brief Answer:
TMT , Anxiolytic
Detailed Answer:
Welcome Back.
You have a positive family history of
heart disease and diabetes. So , you are at risk.
Good part is that your all investigations are normal. You don't smoke , that is appreciable.
Still considering a non specific chest pain in a person with positive family history of heart disease and diabetes , i prefer to get a Tread Mill Test (TMT) done.
If it is a muscular pain , you will feel pain on pressing that area. You can check that yourself.
Since you live a little stressful life , i advice you to improve it any how , any way.
I would also advise you to discuss with your doctor for adding a mild anxiolytic like Etizolam once a day in night time.
I am sure you will be benefit by these advises.
If you have a further query , you may please ask me.
Stay Healthy

Dear Sir,
when pressing the area its should not feels, TMT/stress test already done in 2011
past 2 years, I had taken first repan- D & vizel D then 2 months later Ciplar LA 40 & c. XXXXXXX & then after 2 months T. etilaam (0.5)

In-Between I don't know but taking some acidity related drugs but rarly.
When Stress Test is over, Cardiologist told me to stooped all drugs & I followup all instruction
from last 2 days I have taken Laza 6 mg, Hi-Five & RLX-SP its a right drugs?
As per advice I want to take Etizolam (Its a same as Etilaam ?) for 1 week for better improvement. After that I slowly deceases, I dont
want to take oftentimes, please advice How many days.
Suppose I started then sopped after week, I want take after 1 month when I am in stressed, its wrong or right?

Brief Answer:
LAZA IS NOT ADVISABLE AT ALL.
Detailed Answer:
Dear Friend.
You can ask me as many questions you want to ask. I am here to help you only.
So , one thing is very clear that it is not a Cardiac Chest pain.
Also it is u nlikley to be a muscular pain.
It is probably stress related.
You should do some relaxation therapies.
Yes , Etilaam contains Etizolam only. You can take this medication in night for 3 weeks.
I am very much concerned for the medicine Laza 6 mg. Why are you taking this medicine? It is a steroid? It has numerous side effects.
Please take this medicine only under medical supervision. In fact it can further cause a lot of Gastritis and can worsen your chest pain.
You upper molar issue is unrelated to your chest pain. Don't worry.
Again , please discuss with me or a qualified XXXXXXX doctor before taking Laza.
If you don't have a further query , you may please close the discussion and rate it!!
Stay healthy.
Answer from dr.Dr XXXXXXX Mahajan
Hello,
The pain that you describe doesn't seem to be
angina pectoris. It doesn't seem to be of cardiac etiology.
The pain could be due to acidity or other gastrointestinal issues like
hiatus hernia or reflux oesophagitis or gastritis. I am not an expert in gastroenterology but certain tests like endoscopy of the stomach and oespophagus and duodenum may be warranted. However there seems to be a significant psychological component to the pain.
I suggest instead of visiting physicians you could be more benefitted by visiting a gastroenterologist and also a
psychiatrist. 4 years of pain and still nothing significant on investigations indicates a psychological component. Plus the difficulty in sleeping also suggests certain psychological element to the illness. As you said it could be very well be anxiety or stress or depression.
Regards
Dr XXXXXXX Mahajan
