Dear Sir,



I am 22 years old and feel pain and burning on my chest, sometimes the pain travels to bottom of my heart that feels like stomach problem.......but I'm confused.

I did my ECG and it shows normal, my BP is also normal.

sometimes this pain goes away and I feel very healthy......could you please advise me.



Thanks.

HI
Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.

Most likely you might be suffering from condition called Gastro-esophageal Reflux disease ( GERD )

GERD is a condition where excess acid production in the stomach gets refluxed ( that is it goes up ) into the oesophagus ( food pipe ). This cause pain in stomach radiating to the chest with a burning sensation in chest . The burning and pain sensation is intermittent and not continuous .

You need to get Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy for confirmation of diagnosis . Treatment is very simple , 2 weeks course of Antacid with Anti-reflux medicine will cure you .

Kindly get the test and revert back .
