What Causes Pressure And Discomfort In Chest?
Hi...on and off over the last few weeks I ve experienced unusual feelings in my chest. Not really heartburn but not pain either. Just discomfort and some pressure. I m 58, 6 ft, 193, and in fairly good shape, work out regularly. The furthest thing from my mind is a heart condition. Any ideas?

Hello,
There are many medical conditions related to your symptoms. It can be a cardiac issue, so I recommend to do an electrocardiogram for further evaluation. Another possible cause is stomach issue such as an acid reflux. I suggest using antacids such as Maalox three times a day.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
