I'm worried because I've been having chest pain for the past couple of days. It's not constant but comes and goes, and there's this burning sensation with it. Plus, my whole body just hurts. What could this mean?

Overall the possibility of a heart problem seems to be less but without doing any objective test, a heart problem can not be conclusively ruled out especially because now a days heart diseases have become common in young people. So please meet a cardiologist as early as possible and get yourself properly

View allI've been having this thing where my chest hurts for just a second or two, and then I feel okay again, but it keeps happening. It's like every 45 minutes or so, especially after I eat or drink. I'm not really sure what's going on, and it's starting to worry me. What do you think I should do about it?
Intermittent chest pain can be concerning. Given your symptoms, here are some possible explanations and advice: *Possible Causes* 1. *Acid Reflux*: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) can cause chest pain, especially after eating or drinking. 2. *Digestive Issues*: Swallowing air, eating too quickly, or having an underlying digestive condition like IBS can lead to chest pain. 3. *Musculoskeletal Issues*: Tight muscles or inflammation in the chest wall can cause brief, sharp pains. *What to Do* 1. *Stay Calm*: Your symptoms don't appear to be life-threatening, but it's essential to monitor them. 2. *Monitor Your Symptoms*: Keep a journal to track when the chest pain occurs, how long it lasts, and any potential triggers. 3. *Avoid Trigger Foods*: If you suspect acid reflux, try avoiding trigger foods like citrus fruits, tomatoes, chocolate, and spicy or fatty foods. 4. *Antacids or Acid Reducers*: Consider taking antacids or acid reducers like Tums, Rolaids, or Zantac to help alleviate acid reflux symptoms. 5. *Stay Hydrated*: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to help with digestion and reduce symptoms. *When to Seek Medical Attention* 1. *Severe Chest Pain*: If your chest pain becomes severe, lasts longer than a few seconds, or is accompanied by difficulty breathing, dizziness, or a cold sweat, seek immediate medical attention.

I've been having this pinching pain in the middle of my chest, a bit towards the left, for about a year now. It doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, it's noticeable, especially if I stretch my chest or if I'm pressing something between my hands that puts pressure on my chest. I've had a bunch of ECGs done, but no other heart tests, and I've seen 23 doctors already. None of them think it's heart-related or gave me any meds. What should I do next? Who should I go to for help in Pune?

I've been feeling pretty anxious about my heart health lately. A while back, I did an ECG, echo, chest X-ray twice, and a TMT, and it was like 8 months ago. My BP is usually around 150, and my LDL is 138. I got a blood test, and it was normal. I'm on the heavier side but don't smoke or drink and there's no family history of heart issues. Still, I get these short, sharp pains in my left chest, like they disappear in seconds, and sometimes there's this bubbling or vibrating sensation there too. Plus, there are moments when my left chest and bicep feel like they're pounding, just for a few seconds. Recently, when I'm walking, it feels like I'm wobbling or floating, and my legs and hands feel lighter. The doctor said not to worry and just keep my BP and LDL in check, but I'm still worried. What should I do?
"Based on your symptoms and medical history, it is important to focus on controlling your blood pressure and LDL levels to reduce the risk of heart issues. In addition to lifestyle changes such as maintaining a healthy weight, regular exercise, and a balanced diet, you may benefit from medication to manage your blood pressure and cholesterol levels. I recommend starting a medication like Atorvastatin (10mg) to lower your LDL levels and Amlodipine (5mg) to help control your blood pressure. It is important to take these medications as prescribed by your doctor and follow up regularly for monitoring and adjustments if needed."
