Suggest Treatment For Asthma And Chest Pain
More than six years I have chest pain.I had my heart tested... done twice andiogramme....no problem... no blockage.
I have asthma and I use Symbicort twice a day for more than 20 years.I reduced the intake for once a day.
If I eat after 9 p.m. I cant lay down. I sleep sitting ..Then after a couple of hours lay down.
In the morning perfect.A smalll activity gives me chest pain and goes off after a couple of minutes.
My doctot is suggesting it's reflex and acid the reason. What do you think ??

Hello,
Thank you for asking at HCM.
I went through your history and would like to make suggestions for you as follows:
1. From your complaints, I would also first think of reflux.
For treatment, I would suggest you to take an antacid like omeprazole 30 minutes before meals for at least 4 weeks.
2. I would also suggest you not to eat up to full stomach, especially in evening. Please avoid too hot or too spicy meals and alcohol-smoking-caffeinated beverages as much as possible.
3. Please continue your asthma medications.
Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.
Should you have any further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.
Wish you the best of the health ahead.
Thank you & Regards.
