What could be the cause of stress and a constant chest pain?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I went through your query.

I need to know more about the symptoms, like precipitating factors, factors that increase pain, etc. Considering your age and symptoms, the possibility of a cardiac cause of this pain is very low. There is nothing to worry about.

Most probably it is a gastritis and reflux disease due to stress and anxiety. Do you have upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in the throat, or chest burning? If yes it further supports the diagnosis. You should avoid fatty, oily, and high-calorie diets. Have some walks after having food instead of taking a rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Eat lots of green leafy vegetables, and fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. Elevate the head end of the bed or use pillows during sleep or rest.

Does this pain increase on applying pressure over the chest area? If yes, then it is costochondritis and is a musculoskeletal type of pain and needs prolonged therapy like a tablet of Ibuprofen (NSAID) twice daily for a week along with some antacids like a tablet of Pantoprazole before breakfast once daily.

Kindly consult a specialist, talk with them, and take medicines with their consent.

Hope this helps you.

Thanks and regards.
