What Causes Severe Burning Sensation In The Chest?
Back In april I had a cold. After I had this cold I started have sever burning in my chest when I would walk. Burning so bad I could hardly make it home. I went and had a EKG done and was told it was fine. Had a chest x ray done that was fine. Had a scope done and was told I had reflex. But can reflex cause so much pain that it makes you sick? Should I have a stress test to be sure it is not my heart?

What Causes Severe Burning Sensation In The Chest?
Hello, Thanks for asking a question at Healthcaremagic Yes, reflux can cause severe pain that it can mimic heart pain It is always good to get an Echo and stress test done once to ruleout the heart cause, but get treated for reflux mean while Once you are on medication for reflux, you make a clear difference thta pain has come down, if it is reflux! That itself is a confirmation Hope it helps Best Regards Dr Chaithanya
