Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I am a 20-year-old female. I have been under stress because of exams. During the exams period, my heartbeats were faster and my heart felt stuffed. I consulted a doctor, and he told me it was just anxiety because of my exams and asked me to take Magnesium pills twice a day. I passed the exams with good grades, but even after that the stuffy feeling in my heart did not go away and I experience it more at night before going to sleep. Thank you.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read your query and understand your concern. The likelihood of heart illness is very less because the age and symptom profile is not suggestive of heart disease. It appears to be acidity and reflux disease. Do you have upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on taking food, sour water feeling in the throat, or chest burning, if yes then it further supports the diagnosis. You should avoid fatty, oily, and spicy diets. Have a walk after having food instead of taking a rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables and fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. You can take tablet Pan DSR 40 mg (Domperidone and Pantoprazole) before breakfast once a day for two weeks. Consult with your specialist doctor, talk to them, and then take the medications. Get back if you have further doubts. Thank you.
