Suggest Treatment For Gas And Chest Pain In An Athlete

Hi, I am 18 years old, 6 foot 3 and an athlete. I have had some pretty bad gas pains in my stomach and chest and one day I left it in my chest for too long without taking care of it. Since then my chest has had a heavy feeling over the left side, I don t know if it is muscle or heart related any ideas?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have gas and chest pain in an athlete. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like acid reflux , chest infection , elevated uric acid level or indigestion due to gas producing food like broccoli. I would suggest you to eat light and non spicy , eat small and frequent meals , avoid taking too much protein for few days and drink plenty of water . Eat healthy like fresh fruits and green vegetables . Consult gastroenterologist for proper examination . Doctor may order ultrasound , endoscopy or stool test . Doctor may also order chest X-ra . Doctor may prescribe omeprazole , ornidazole , laxative , Doctor may also refer you to chest specialist and may ask you to take particular diet .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
