Suggest Remedy For Pain And Discomfort In The Chest Area
I know you ll just tell me to go to the ER or call 911. Thought I would ask anyway. I had (what I believe to be) a severe panic attack last night. Almost called 911 thinking it was a heart attack. I decided not to. The chest discomfort has lessened but I still have discomfort and at times pain in the middle/left side of chest. I believe it is just sore or possibly a pulled muscle due to last night s events. I would think my symptoms would be much worse if it were more serious. What are your recommendations?
Hello welcome to HCM. Your symptoms indicates of three possibilities. First it may be just simple chest muscle spasms. For this plain analgesics will relieve the symptoms. Second is You may be having acidity. More acid is produced in the stomach which is splashing up towards oesophagus which is present behind chest, hence you are feeling sensation. It will be burning type and this sensation also felt in the neck. For this you have to take proton pump inhibitors like omez-40mg once daily half an hour before break fast. Every day for ten days. All the problems will be relieved in early. Third cause is symptom related to heart. pain willbe like some wight is there on the chest. sweating will be there. I am sorry for sugesting an investigation. but to confirm getting ECG is must. Then take advice from the physician. Take care. good health.
