What Causes Pain In Upper Chest,shortness Of Breath With Normal EKG?

Yes, I just left the ER cause I have been having pains on both sides upper of my chest. Also, in the middle of my chest and up the back of my neck. They think it is related to mussle and heart burn.

I have recently put on about 40 pounds which doesn't help. I'm having shortness of breath but they did xrays of my lungs and chest and also all the blood work and it looks like my heart is ok

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
First of all, no need to worry for major heart and lung diseases as your all reports are normal.
Heart burn and reflux disease are common in obese patients and can cause chest pain and breathing difficulty.
So take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination twice daily on empty stomach.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Loose weight and stay fit. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food.
Do you regularly exercise.. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
