What Causes Pain In The Chest?
Question: I have pain in middle of chest that comes and goes. Sharp but not excrutiating. No other symptoms. Could it be gas pains?
Brief Answer:
rule out other organs
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome in HCM
I can understand your concern
I have gone carefully through your previous history.
Yes it might be from the intestinal gases as you explain them.
But to be sure that there is no other problem i would recommend you to do an ECG,a chest X Ray.
If they come negative than be careful with the food to protect the stomach and intestines .Continue Omeprazol for at least one month once capsule orally.
For intestinal gases long walks help a lot too.
Take care and feel free to ask me again

I don't take Omeprezal. This discomfort is not in upper chest but more down below. Could I wait to see if it goes away completely? I have had no pain in the past two hors. Would'nt it be getting worse?
