What causes pricking pain in the chest chest despite a normal ECG report?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com

I read your query and understand your concern. Most probably acidity, gastritis, and reflux disease. Does she also have upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in the throat, or chest burning, these are the other symptoms and may be associated. The probability of heart disease is less, considering age, symptoms are not very compatible, ECG (echocardiogram) is normal, and relief with antacids. Heart symptoms typically come with exertion and relief with rest. Anyway, there is no harm in getting her evaluated, she will need an echocardiography and treadmill test, which will reliably rule out the disease. She should avoid fatty, oily, and spicy 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. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Elevate the head end of the bed or use pillows during rest and sleep. She should get a prescribed tablet of Pan (Pantoprazole) DSR 40 mg or Esomeprazole Domperidone combination before breakfast once a day for two weeks. If not adequately relieved, then you should add syrup Sucral (Sucralfate) O two teaspoons three times a day for a week. I hope this helps you get back if you have any doubts.

Thank you.
