Suggest Remedy For Pressure On The Chest
Hello, I am a 44 year old female and last week after a stressful day I began having pressure on the chest. It felt exactly like a time 2 years before and back then I went to the doctor. They ran stress test,ekg and ultrasounds and everything looked good. So I didn t worry about it but it has been happening on and off since then. Can heart issues last for days or could it just be anxiety that I experienced in the past?

Thanks for your question on HCM. Since your heart and lung workup is normal and you have symptoms on stressful days, suggest possibility of GERD (Gastro Esophageal Reflux Disease). It is directly related to stress.
It is due to laxity of Gastro Esophageal Sphincter. Due to this the acid of the stomach tend to come up and cause the symptoms. Stressful life plays very important role in function of sphincter. More stress more laxity, more reflux, more symptoms. So better to avoid stress and keep relax and calm. Start oral antacids like proton pump inhibitors. This will surely help you
