What Causes Persistent Burning Pain In The Chest Despite Taking Medication?

I have a persistent burning in my chest.....tried Zantac,,...it s relieving for a while....but it is a constant feeling of a slight uncomfortable tugging around or feels like behind my heart.....I m scared and want to get to a Dr. asap ! but could this possibly be a serious condition of acid reflux ?

Hi,

If it's responding although slightly to Zintac then it's likely an acidity and reflux disease. Also Zintac is mild antacid, you should get tab Pan DSR 40 mg before breakfast prescribed from local doctor. Also one ECG should be done just to rule out the heart problems.

Avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, and fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sagar Makode
