What Is The Pain In My Breast When I Breathe?
Hi I get this weird feeling right under my left breast, my heart I m guessing...it s like a grabbing kind of feeling...like pins and needles. It s my 3rd time. Everytime I breathe or move it hurts so I have to stay still for a while before it goes. I m worried. Thank you

Hello dear,
The symptoms as mentioned in your post can be attributed to production & accumulation of gas in the stomach, which can be secondary to increased acid formation.
However, an ECG should be done to rule out any Cardiovascular pathology.
Symptomatic relief can be obtained with intake of:
1. Proton pump inhibitors (which prevent acid formation in stomach) like Omeprazole, Pantoprazole,etc. to be taken twice a day, half an hour before meals.
2. Antacid gel can also be taken after meals for the same.
And it is also needed that you take certain precautions regarding your diet & lifestyle, such as:
1. Take soft, plain, non-spicy foods
2. Drink lots of water to maintain adequate hydration
3. Avoid fast foods & gas producing food products like cabbage, etc.
4. Avoid smoking & alcohol.
5. Keep away stress, think positive.
There is no need to worry, you will be fine.
Wishing a good health.
Take care.
