Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi I m 24 and female and I m having chest pain it hit me earlier and felt like someone was punching me in the chest it has not gone away but has lessened a little bit it feels like somebody squeezing my heart it s been over a hour since it happened. Don t know if it s something I should be worried about or just a really bad case of indigestion like I ve never had before?
Hello dear I understand your concern Pain in pressure on chest could be due to muscle spasm,,panic attack, heart related problem like angina/myocardial infraction, indigestion, pulmonary cause. I would suggest to consult internal medicine specialist as early as possible and undergo clinical examination, blood tests like CBC, ESR, CK, CKMB, troponin test, ECG and chest Xary. If all tests will come normal then cause mostly due to muscle spasm and panic attack. You can take tablet Dan MR, tablet ranitidine Avoid stress Other specific treatment depend on specific cause. Hope this may help you
