Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I had a very severe chest pain today as I waited at Dominos for a pizza for my grandchildren. I sat down and waited. But the pain did not go away for at least 12 minutes or until I walked out the door. During that time, I bent over the table and placed my head on my pocketbook. I don t know if the clerk knew I did not feel well, but she brought the pizza to me. I was unable to smile at all. I just thanked her and left. Very severe pain. I have thought about this all day. It happened about a month or so ago at school. I am a teacher. My arm did not hurt, but I felt that it was a stroke or heart attack.
There are many medical conditions related to chest pain. I suggest doing an electrocardiogram to exclude the possibility of a cardiac issue.
Another possible cause can be acid reflux. In such a case, I suggest using Maalox three times a day. I also suggest using Omeprazole 20 mg daily in the morning.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
