What Causes Stinging Pain In Left Side Of Chest?
It's been 3 days . And I've noticed when it drink liquids mostly being cold I have little stings of pain on the left side of my chest. Sometimes just stings now without even needing to drink anything. Eating foods and digestion isn't a problem either. Should I be worried ?

Hi
Thank you for asking HCM
I have gone through your query.Your problem is most likely oesophagitis.But better to rule out any cardiac problem by doing an ECG.Esophagitis can be due to gastroesophageal reflux or hot drinks drinks or due to alcohol.For such cases I usually advise Proton pump inhibitors like rabeperazole and antiemetic domperidone for 2 weeks to 1 month.I also give them vitamin c which speed up healing.Avoid too hot foods and drinks.Alcohol also should be avoided.Too much spicy food also should be avoided.Hope this may help you.
Let me know if you have any further query.
