What Causes Pain And Heaviness In Chest Along With Constipation?
I woke up at 4:00 this morning with chest pain, but it went away. Most of the afternoon I feel a heaviness almost to the point of pain, going through me to my back. I am constipated, but I am a 69 year old women, so I though I should check this out.

Hello,
Heaviness in the chest may be due to the cardiac origin or non-cardiac origin.
Cardiac causes like ischemic heart disease or hypertension or heart failure.
Non-cardiac causes are like acid reflux or pneumonia or bronchial asthma or dyspepsia etc.
Use tablet pantoprazole. Avoid spicy food and caffeinated drinks. Get it done ECG, chest x-ray and urine examination.
Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu, Internal Medicine Specialist
