Suggest Remedy For Chest Pain In An Overweight Person
Dr Rynne,
I am a 42 yr old male. I have been having chest pains on both sides of my heart. I guess its at the breast bone area. This morning at 530 it hurt so bad on my right side that it literally dropped me to the ground in pain. Any suggestions? Also, I am severly overweight, but for the last couple months,I cant sto sweating even when im just sitting around. Does that sound like it could be some sort of blockage?

Well there can be many reasons for chest pain heart attack , angina , aortic dissection , acid reflux , gallstone , bronchitis , muscle soreness and panic attack .

Doctor may sometimes also order angiography . Doctor may prescribe nitroglycerin , beta blockers , aspirin or diazepam . Doctor may also refer you to gastroenterologist .
