Does Burning Pain In Chest With History Of Kidney Transplant/palpitation Indicate Angina?
ive been excersising alot recenlty and been getting burning pains in my cheast. I bent down there to pick up coins from floor and got the burning again but it traveled to my throat and i got a headache! Ive had a kidney transplant and had heart palpatations n been put on 2.5mg of bisoprol at morning and night! could this be angina?
Your symptoms seem to be related to gastro-esophageal reflux.
But, considering your past medical history, angina can not be excluded either.
For this reason, I recommend trying an antiacid or PPI (omeprazole, esomeprazole) first. If this helps improve your situation, it would indicate possible gastroesophageal reflux as the main cause of your complaints. In such case a fibrogastroscopy would be needed.
But, if your symptoms persist, I recommend consulting with your cardiologist for a careful physical exam and a coronary angio CT scan or Dobutaminestress echo, in order to investigate for coronary artery disease.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
