What Causes Chest Discomfort After Taking A Hot Shower?

When I take a hot shower and drink some hot drink i feel like someone is squeezing my heart. I used to, when i am in hot spring, have similar feeling but it s focus on the front instead of all around my heart. Moreover when I walk for about 4=5 min my left shoulder bone and rib start to hurt like a sharp pain. And my heart would feel pressured and yave a null ache. My school nurses checked my heart beat , blood pressure, blood sugar level, nothing out of the ordinary. I just turn 18, and started my vegetarian diet for 4 month and my family have anaemia. Whould it just be i haven t have enough iron intake?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There is a possibility gastritis and reflux disease in you. Do you also have upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in throat or chest burning, these are the other symptoms and may be associated.

You should avoid fatty, oily and spicy diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.

You can get prescribed tab Pan DSR 40 mg or esomiprazole domperidone combination beforebreakfast once a day for 2 weeks.

Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
