Hi there,
Thanks for your query.
From the brief information provided, I feel that you are suffering from Gastro-esophageal-reflux-disease (
GERD) which is characterized by stomach acidity, reflux of stomach acid into the food pipe, causing burning pain in center + particularly left side of chest.
You need to undergo
Endoscopy to directly visualize the stomach and early part of intestine for evidence of excessive production of acid or presence of ulcers.
A 2-weeks' course of Pro-kinetic drug, such as,
domperidone or
metoclopramide PLUS anti-H.pylori therapy; followed by, with effect from Day 15, a daily capsule of anti-acid drug regularly for 3-4 months, will cure the problems.
Consult your doctor and apprise him of my opinion. I am certain that he agree with me, order required tests, and- based on the reports- will prescribe suitable treatment as advised.
If you find my response helpful and informative, do not forget an “excellent” (5-star rating) to my answer, to ENCOURAGE all doctors- engaged in social service- to render sound advice to the FREE queries.
Fond regards and have a nice day
