Why Do I Feel Heavy In And Around My Heart Area?
I am a cardian patient, with minor heart attack in 2004, and since then on Metpure XL 25, Clopitab 75, Esoz D40, Tonact 10. On many occassion I have heaviness feeling above navel and goes up to heart and spreads alll over the heart. Normaxin RT has helped but , then again after several weeks it come back again. I can walk 45 minutes every day - brisk walk, and have no probllem. NO stent has been put, but only on medicines. Can you advise why this heaviness in and around ther heart area..

hi dear
have noted all your details as normaxin rt relieves your pain
most likely it because of gastritis acid peptic disorder or heartburn
heaviness starts from around navel and move up most likely its heart burn
please do avoid taking spicy and oily food
take tab pantroprazole 40mg once daily before breakfast (over counter medication )it is a proton pump inhibitor much superior to normaxin you are taking
take an antacid tablet also in combination with proton pump inhibitor for 14 days
include fibres in your diet
you will be fine
as you have a minor heart attack earlier and no stents are there i would like to suggest you atleast a ECG to rule out any latest cardiac event
thiugh a tread mill test will be more informative about ischemic conditions of heart
thank you get the tests done and follow the meds and instruction
