What Causes Discomfort In Chest?

I am 46 yr old women and for a few weeks now I have been having what I call bubbles popping in my chest, just below my breast bone, in the center. They do not hurt just a uncomfortable feeling. I rarely have gas / heartburn and this pretty much happens 6-8 times a day and lasts for 15 - 30 mins. I dont want to be paranoid but it is a very odd feeling. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description possibility of gaseous discomfort of stomach is more likely.
You are approaching menopause age. And during this period due to hormonal imbalance, women tend to suffer from gastritis and heart burn. And this in turn causes such symptoms.
So take antacid (pantoprazole) and prokinetic (levosulperide) combination twice daily on empty stomach.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Consult gynecologist for menopause.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
