Suggest Remedy For Chest Pains
I have recently (18 months-2 years) been experiencing Colicky chest pains. I ve had my bloods and stool checked all came back ok (slightly raised cholesterol) I m not sure if I have a hiatus hernia as i need to have the check for that. I was prescribed Omeprazole which it appears agrivates my kidneys. Is there a way of identifying a hiatus hernia without having an endoscopy which i can t bare the thought of. The attacks of pain seemed to be 6 monthly usually when i m over tired. I have been taking exerscise and eating a very health (low acid level) diet and also lost a stone and a half, I m 46 years old and female (had the gall stone ultrasound test, again all clear) I do smoke between 5-8 cigarettes a day. Could you give me your thoughts on my next move as the pain can be very strong and wakes me in the night. I m in good relative health although I do suffer with IBS

Hi,
For every chest pain cardiac cause should always be rule. We generally recommend stress echo for such patients which is a very good test to rule that out.
Go through that test & than you can be safe from cardiac side.
Thanks
