I sometimes get sharp vertical pains in the middle of my chest what could cause this? I have been diagnosed with gerd, i take a blood pressure medication, i take vyvanse for adhd, i dont smoke but i do drink beer. I have had ekgs done and been to a cardiologist everything appears to be fine but i still get these pains and from time to time my heart feels like it skips a beat any help would be great.

Hi,
This is Dr.Ram

The pain is due to GERD which is causing retrosternal burning.
Beer usually aggravates the condition.
Better you consult a Gastroentrologist and get a endoscopy done under his supervision.

Thank You
