Suggest Treatment For Thoracic Pain
I have probable ms and recently I have been having thoracic pain, I get light headed abd bloating and a lot of gas and sometimes get short of breath during these times. I do have reflux also and a hiatal hernia . I had echo about 2 years ago and only showed slight tricuspid regurgitation. I am on Zantac but lately I am thinking it is not working any ideas?

Hi I did review your concern
Your problem seems to be due to gastroesophageal reflux but just as a caution i would advice you to get ECG for ruling out any heart problem
If zantac does not work I would advice you to start Omeprazole OD 20 minutes before lunch or dinner and I am sure the results would be encouraging. Also do not sleep immediately after eating food and use 2-3 pillows at night while going to sleep to keep your head high and preven acid reflux
