What Is The Treatment For Precordial Catch Syndrome?
Hello im a 16 year old male and ive been having these sharp chest pains and then they go away and im almost positive its precordial catch syndrome and i was wondering if there was a treatment to get it to go away or if pain medicince will help ge rid of it?
Hi. I can understand your concern. Ideally ecg and 2d echo should be done first in your case. If both are normal than no need to worry for heart diseases. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can cause similar kind of chest pain. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Go for walk after meals. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. Loose weight if you are obese Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
