What Could Be The Cause Of Having Pressure Right In Middle Of Chest?
I have been having pressure right in the middle of my chest for several months now. There is no pain just mainly discomfort. I can also feel fluttering or a rolling sensation. I don t know if this problem is caused from acid reflux which I have not be diagnosed with or my heart or my lungs.

Hello
Thanks for your query.
Pressure inside the central chest may be because of Gastric reflux (Tough to diagnose and response to treatment sometimes is the only way to diagnose it), asthma, ischemic heart disease and aortic aneurysm. I suggest you to consult a cardiologist and get yourself thoroughly examined and go for some investigations like chest x-ray, spirometry, echocardiography to exclude the causes one by one.
Thank you.
