Hello,
The persistent pain and tightness in the chest may be from various
reasons
- Underlying stress, anxiety
- Musculoskeletal
- Reflux of stomach acid
- Heart-related issues
- Other causes.
In our clinic, we suggest deep breathing exercises, proton pump
inhibitor as omeprazole for 2-3 days along with vital parameters control,
later on, if required may undertake an EKG.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
