What Causes Frequent Chest Pain?
Hello. I have been having pains in my chest for awhile now. Went to the er about a month or so ago and they told me it was heartburn. The pains kept on so I went to my doctor and told her about the stress I am under and what was goin on. She put me on celexia and told me to take heartburns meds. She seems to think its anxiety. I have been taking my meds and it seemed to help for awhile but now the pains are back and seem a little worse. I am having pains in the chest that seem to move around and get better when i work or excercise. I am so afrais it is a blood clot or something deadly. Please Help.

Hi thanks for your question.
According to history mostly you have Anxiety induce ulcer or gastritis like condition.
You have not mentioned which drug you have taken for it.
Take simple omeprazole drug for two week.
Meanwhile avoid stress.
Take fatty and spicy diet minimum.
Avoid smoking.
Cooked oatmeal useful.
Fruits more.
Green leafy veg more.
Water taken more.
If still no benefit test for h.pylori done to rule out its infection.
Here cardiac and respiratory cause for chest pain seems less likely.
Still for that x ray and ECG can be done.
Take care
