Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am female just about to turn 65. My mother died 1 week ago so I am under a lot of stress. For the last 2 weeks I have had extremely painful heartburn. I feels like an arrow was shot throu my left upper chest. Hurts in front and back. Tums and Zantac have not provided any relief. I have switched to all bland foods- stopped coffee. The pain is constant but It is worse at night when I lay down and the pain keeps me awake much of the night even when I take Ambien. Is this something I should try to keep treating with otc drugs or have checked out. Can it wait until I return to my home state (Colo) in a week or should I seek medical attention while I'm attending to my Mom's affairs (Mich).
