I'm experiencing some pain in the area inside my ribs on both sides, especially under my left breast and there's some noticeable swelling too. It's been going on for a few days now. My breathing is generally normal, but sometimes it feels like I have to make an effort to take deeper breaths. I'm getting a bit worried about what might be causing this. Could you provide some advice on what might be happening?

View allI've been noticing some strong heartbeats and chest pain on my left side after I eat. I don't have any other symptoms, but it's kind of worrying. I had a stress echo and an ECG done about three months ago, and everything was normal. What do you think could be going on?
It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of heart palpitations and chest pain after eating. Since your stress echo, echo, and ECG done 3 months ago were normal, it is less likely to be related to any serious heart condition. However, these symptoms could be due to acid reflux or gastritis. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Rolaids for relief. You can also try avoiding spicy and fatty foods, eating smaller meals, and not lying down immediately after eating. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your doctor for further evaluation.

I'm really worried because I started with heart pain, and then the next day, I got this really bad pain in my left upper abdomen. I had an ECG done, and they didn't find anything unusual, and my stomach scan was clear too. But I keep getting these chest pains, mostly at night, and sometimes there's this pain in my shoulder blade that only lasts a few minutes. I'm too scared to tell my parents about all this. Can you tell me what's going on?
based on your symptoms of chest pain, left upper abdominal pain, and shoulder blade pain, along with normal ECG and abdominal scan results, it is important to consider the possibility of acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) as a potential cause of your symptoms. I recommend taking a proton pump inhibitor such as Esomeprazole (brand name Nexium) 40mg once daily before breakfast for at least 2 weeks to see if it helps alleviate your symptoms. Additionally, you can take antacids like Tums as needed for immediate relief of chest pain. It is also important to avoid spicy, fatty, and acidic foods, as well as eating at least 2-3 hours before bedtime to help reduce acid reflux symptoms. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a doctor for further evaluation and management.
