What Causes Recurrent Chest Pains With Acid Reflux?

Last week I went to the ER with chest pains. EKG, blood work all checked out fine. they wanted me to stay over night but made an appointment to go to my heart dr.
One week later. since the ER visit I have had pain in my chest, pinch and do not know why.
I am thinking about returning to the ER again?
What is your opinion.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your recurrent chest pain is mostly due acid reflux you are having.
GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of chest pain belching, burping etc.
So we need to treat your GERD first.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid hot and spicy food.
2. Avoid stress and tension.
3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
4. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach.
5. Go for walking after meals.
6. Quit smoking and Alcohol if you have these habits.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
