What Causes Sharp Pain And Burning Sensation In Upper Left Side Of The Chest?
Hi Doctor, I have been having a poking pain in the upper left rib cage area. I have recently undergone health checks for my visa and everything was normal(Blood tests and Check xray). I have burning sensation in the food pipe. When I met the doctor, he said the pain could be because of GERD or acidity. Its been there for a week now and its affecting my day to day activities. Its a poking pain always around when I am sitting and goes away when I lie on bed. (Male, 30 years)

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if this is the GERD then this can be best managed with "Tab Omeprazole 40 mg Domperidone 30 mg" once in day at evening time for six weeks, avoid coffee, alcohol, smoking, spicy food, prior to bed, low down the stress hope this information helps, take care.
