What Could Be The Reason For Intense Burning Pain In Chest For Weeks?

Hi, My name is Robert and I have had an intense burning in my chest for the past three weeks. Not so much pain, but an incredible burn that makes me have to sit down for five minutes so it can calm down. It gets so bad that I have no more strength and scares me severely... any idea??

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, we should definitely rule out cardiac chest pain first.
So get done ecg, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test).
If all these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Sometimes gastritis can also cause burning chest pain.
So avoid hot and spicy food.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach twice daily.
Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
