Hi! Good afternoon. I am Dr Shareef answering your query.

If I were your doctor, I would after a detailed clinical assessment of your vitals (pulse rate and blood pressure) and abdomen along with the cardio vascular system, might go for some basic tests like a CBC, a blood sugar, a serum amylase and lipase, an ultrasound of abdomen to know the status of organs like gall bladder and pancreas, a base line ECG for you, with X ray chest being an option if need be. Till then , I would prescribe you a proton pump inhibitor and an anti spasmodic drug for a symptomatic relief and would also advise you to keep a srobitrate handy on consultation by your clinician.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
