I've been experiencing a constant pain in my chest and the surrounding area. It happens about twice a week or sometimes just once a month. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned about it?

The symptoms you are describing could be related to acid reflux or heartburn. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like Tums or Maalox for relief. You can take them as directed on the package insert. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

I've been experiencing some unusual symptoms and I'm getting a bit worried. A few days ago, I had trouble breathing, and then I started feeling pain in my ribs that moved towards my left chest. It happened again recently, and I'm concerned it might be related to a heart issue. Could you please advise me on what this could be or suggest any treatment?
do ECG
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
I've been having some chest pain that moves around a bit - sometimes it's on the left side, other times in the middle. I walk 5 km every day and I don't feel any pain when I walk, which is odd. About a year and a half ago, I had a TMT, Echo, and ECG done, and everything came back normal. Since then, I've had four more ECGs, and they're all normal too. I attached my latest ECG here. I'm just wondering, is there anything else I can do to really make sure this isn't a heart-related issue? The pain mostly hits when I'm sitting, so I can't figure out what's going on. Could it really be non-cardiac?
"Hello, based on your description and the normal results of your TMT, Echo, and multiple ECG tests, it is less likely that the chest pain is related to a cardiac issue. Since the pain occurs mostly when you are sitting, it could be musculoskeletal or related to gastric issues. I recommend trying over-the-counter antacids like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice daily before meals to see if it helps with the pain. Additionally, you can take **Acetaminophen** 500mg as needed for pain relief. If the pain persists or worsens, further evaluation by a healthcare provider may be necessary."
