Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My ECG is normal. When I sleep on back and take deep breaths, I feel pain in the chest. I am BP patient. After delivery via C-section, I am taking tablet Almovas 2.5. Please advice me.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I read carefully your question and would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to the heart. Gastro-esophageal reflux could be the most probable cause of your complaints. Coming to this point, it is necessary performing a fibrogastroscopy to investigate for this disorder. An antiacid or PPI (Omeprazole, etc.) can help improve your situation. Regarding Amlodipine, it can exacerbate acid reflux as a common adverse effect. For this reason, it may be necessary to switch to another anti-hypertensive therapy (ACEI (angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors) or ARB (angiotensin receptor blockers) drug).
