Suggest Remedy For Chest Pain

I am getting waves of pain just below my chest and just above my stomach. It feels a little like a clamp clamping down and squeezing, and lasts for a few seconds to a minute at a time. I have had kidney stones in the past, and it kind of feels like that pain, but instead of being on my side/back, this pain is right in the middle of the front of my body. Any ideas? I am 43 years old, 5' 6", approx 205 lbs, and don't have many medical issues, although I do take Omeprazole (sp?) for heartburn.

Hi thanks for contacting HCM....

You have squeezing chest pain....
For that first cardiac cause has to be ruled out ....
For that blood pressure monitoring and ECG need to be done ...Stress test also useful....

If no cardiac cause present then pain could be by simple muscular pain or reffred pain from acid reflux....
Avoid excess spicy food ...
Take proper sleep posture with head elevation while sleeping ...
Avoid strenuous work.

Consult pulmonologist for physical examination and auscultation ....and subsequent work up...

Hope your concern solved.
