I've been having this sharp pain at the bottom of my chest and when I talked to a doctor about it, they mentioned it might be due to gas. They advised getting an ECG, which I did, and I've attached the results here. I smoke about 3 to 4 cigarettes a day and have been eating out quite a bit recently because of work travel. I'm 75kgs and 5 feet 7 inches tall. What should I do next?

The sharp pain in the bottom of your chest could be due to gastritis caused by excess gas. Based on your ECG report, there are no significant abnormalities detected. However, smoking and consuming hotel food frequently can exacerbate your symptoms. To alleviate the gas and chest pain, you can take an over-the-counter antacid like Ranitidine 150mg twice daily before meals. Additionally, you should try to quit smoking or at least reduce the number of cigarettes per day. It is also advisable to avoid spicy and oily foods, and opt for a more balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables. Regular exercise and maintaining a healthy weight can also help improve your symptoms.

View allI'm experiencing heart palpitations and my heart beats faster sometimes along with chest discomfort, all this in the past six months or so. I've had an ECG, echo, and TMT and they all came back normal. My blood pressure at home is usually below 12085, but when I go to the doctor's office, it shoots up to 13090 and sometimes even 150100. Should I be worried about this difference in blood pressure readings, and could it be linked to the palpitations I'm feeling?
Since six months some time feel heart palpitation and beat faster and chest discomfort. I have done ecg echo tmt everything normal. Bp also below 12085 at home But doctor clinic always 13090 some time 150100. It sounds like you may be experiencing episodes of palpitations and chest discomfort despite normal results on your ECG, echo, and TMT tests. Your blood pressure readings are also slightly elevated at the doctor's clinic. In such cases, your symptoms may be related to anxiety or stress. I recommend trying a beta-blocker medication such as Metoprolol (dosage: 25-50mg once daily) to help with the palpitations and chest discomfort. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or yoga may also be beneficial.
