Hey, I went to the hospital today because I've been having really bad chest pain from my GERD. They gave me a Pan injection, but the pain hasnt gone away. The doctor said I should get an ECG done and talk to a cardiologist. But I couldnt see one because of some financial issues, so I had to go home instead. Can someone please look at my ECG report and let me know if everything seems alright or if there's something wrong?

If you are experiencing severe chest pain due to GERD, you can try taking Omeprazole (20mg) once a day before breakfast for relief. Additionally, you can take Antacid syrup like Gelusil after meals for immediate relief from acidity. Make sure to follow up with a cardiologist as advised by your doctor for further evaluation of your chest pain.

View allI'm dealing with this chest pain for the last couple of months, and I've already checked in with a gastric specialist and taken some gas meds. Even had an ECG done and that seemed fine. But I'm still feeling this pain when I move around or lift stuff. Could this be a muscle issue in my chest? Should I be worried, and is there something specific I should be taking to help with it?
Based on your description, it is possible that your chest pain is indeed related to chest muscle pain. To help relieve the pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen. Additionally, you can use a muscle relaxant such as methocarbamol to help relax the chest muscles and alleviate the pain. It is also important to rest the affected area and avoid activities that worsen the pain. If the pain persists or worsens, it is advisable to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing really strong heartbeats two or three times a day for the last year and a half, especially when I'm doing anything physical. Otherwise, my blood pressure seems normal. I'm feeling pretty scared about this. Should I see a doctor?
It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations. In such cases, it is important to rule out any underlying heart conditions. You can try taking Metoprolol (brand name: Lopressor) 25mg once a day to help control your heart rate and reduce the intensity of palpitations. However, it is advisable to consult a doctor for a proper evaluation and further management.
