Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I get muscle spasms occasionally right in the middle of my chest just where my rib cage meets. I thought it was my gall bladder but I have had several tests and my gall bladder is just fine (they say). It has taken me to the ER twice now. Is it a spasm of my diaphragm? My esophagus? My doctor has prescribed Hyoscyam to take when I get a spasm. What do you think?
I believe it could be associated with a gastric issue (e.g. hiatus hernia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, peptic ulcer diseas, etc.) requiring a change in lifestyle, avoid NSAIDs, avoid smoking, avoid alcohol, avoid stress, avoid fatty/fried/oily/spicy food, avoid carbinated drinks, avoid long gaps between meals, have 5-6 smaller meals in a day instead of 2-3 larger ones, avoid stress, drink plenty of water, and avoid overeating.
Along with this you can initiate an antacid like lansoprazole 30 mg one tablet every morning for as long as you need. You also need to understand that I am working with limited information, and in case these suggestions do not help then write back to me in detail.
Best wishes.
