Tightness In Chest, Sharp Pains In Chest And Stomach, Shoulder Soreness, Frequent Burps. Recently Stopped Dip. Suggestions?
I have had tightness in my chest and quick Sharp pains in chest and stomach. Left shoulder has been sore but that comes and goes randomly. I have been Burping all day. I have always had acid reflux . I am 26 years old. I have had an ultra sound of my heat and an EKG done and my doctor says everything is fine. I have dipped for 8 years everyday and just recently stopped 19 days ago. My doctor says a lot of my problem is to withdrawal and anxiety but I m still uneasy on how I feel. What should I do?
Hi there,
Thanks for writing in.

It is only 3 weeks and some symptoms you will have to bear with for some more time. In that respect your doctor is right. However, you can request your doctor to give you some prescription medicines like Metoclorpramide for relief with gastric problem and burping. You have some symptoms of gastro esophageal reflux disease for which this drug will help too. You can also buy some antacids OTC and take one and three hours after meals. You are young woman with normal echocardiogram and EKG so it is absolutely certain that whatever your indiscretions might have been your heart had remained unaffected. It is absolutely normal. Enjoy your life do exercise, no junk food no junk thoughts no junk medicines. I can understand your discomfort now but it is matter of weeks before you will realize that you have gotten over withdrawal how much you have gained. Good Luck.
Best Wishes
Dr Anil Grover
