What Causes Pressure In Chest And Abdominal Pain?

I was having pressure in chest as well as upper abdomen pain so stress test and nuclear pictures along with 24 hour monitor was done - all fine. Then diagnosed with gastritis thru endoscope.Treating with ranitidine 300mg. Started getting weakness in legs and light-headed. I have low BP sometimes it goes to 94/64. Could i be experiencing this because i Haven't been able to eat much with the stomach or something else going on. Had lots of blood work and also CT of abdomen with contrast

Hi,
Welcome to HCM.

Yes your low bp could be due to lack of eating. So you need to improve your diet a lot. And to help that, in my opinion a ppi like pantaprazole or omeprazole will be much better than ranitidine.

Also drink more of fruit juices and avoid tea, coffee and spicy foods. Eat more of salt in food.

Regards,
Dr. Ashish Verma
