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.
Hello doctor i was on a plane a week ago from China to Ethiopia but on my way from Ethiopia to lusaka I started feeling like my air intake was in intervals where I started having a pain on my left side of the chest surrounding my left breast what could be the reason kindly help?
Is it squeezing type of pain radiating to the left arm and jaw or burning pain? First type of pain is due to heart ischemia while second one is because of hyperacidity. Sometimes muscular spasms can also cause pain in chest.
My advice is that you should have ECG which will rule out cardiac pain. If it is normal you can take capsule Omeprazole and then Diclofenac + Chlorzoxazone combination.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
