Brief Answer: ..... Detailed Answer: Hi there.. Thanks for writing in... The possibilities are : Cardiac pathology Acidity/Gastritis Musculoskeletal pain. However, I would advise you to visit a doctor and get an ECG and ECHO done to rule out cardiac cause. If ECG and ECHO are normal, symptoms might be attributed to acidity, in which case symptoms should subside with antacids like pantoprazole. Drink warm water at regular intervals. Eat smaller frequent meals rather than 3 large meals. Avoid oily, spicy food. Hope this helps. Regards, Dr. Divya Kuttikrishnan
