What Causes Chest Pain While Eating And Traveling?

Hi this is Surendra from past few months, I am getting mild chest pain. Earlier i thought it could be some cardio so I did ECG done which went fine, after which I thought it could be acidic problem and for last 15 days I ve been taking acidic medince but this is not helping much. I am still feeling discomfort while eating, while sitting idle, while travelling. Could you please help?

Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to anxiety.

Nevertheless, a simple ECG does not exclude a heart disorder.

For this reason, I would recommend performing an exercise cardiac stress test in order to exclude coronary artery disease.

Is the pain triggered by deep breathing or pressure on the chest? This could indicate a musculoskeletal pain, including costochondritis. In such a case, ibuprofen and local hot packs would help.

If the cardiac tests result normal and your pain is not modulated by ibuprofen, I would recommend considering anxiety as the main cause underlying your complaints.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
