Should I Be Concerned About My Husband's Chest Pain Which Subsided After Burping?

My husband is a 56yr old who I consider in fairly good shape. 2 years ago he had 5 stents inserted and has been feeling fine. Recently he had sharp chest pain (not like the pain he had when the stents were needed) which went away immediately after he belched. Last month he had a nuclear stress test which was fine. Should we concerned about the recent chest pain?

Hello,

His symptoms are not typical of any cardiac disorders. Gastro-esophageal reflux or esophageal spasms could be the cause of his complaints. Anyway, considering his past medical history of stent implantation, I would recommend performing a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes just to be sure that everything is okay. A Fibrogastroscopy may be needed too. Meanwhile, I would recommend eating in small portions, avoiding large meals, and take an anti-acid.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
