Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My father is suffering from chest pain for the last six months which is during for about 30 seconds to 1 minute and he says he is feeling like his heart is vibrating, poking during the pain. He has consulted a cardiologist four months ago and has taken ECG, echocardiogram, treadmill stress test but the report is normal except on comments it was mentioned as mildly hypokinetic mid and apical anterior septum and conducted treadmill stress test for possible ischemic but the result came as negative. And when asked about any prescription, the doctor has denied prescription suggesting it is gastric problem, nothing to worry about but again the pain has started and he is even afraid to sleep (keeping alarms once in two hours). Can anyone please suggest is this something serious?
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
It does not appear to be a serious problem. Cardiac pain is unlikely to occur for this short time. It typically occurs on exertion and relieves with rest, and persists for 5 to 10 minutes. Such rest occurs usually due to gastritis and reflux disease. He should avoid fatty, oily and spicy diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any. He should have tablet Pan DSR (Pantoprazole, Domperidone) 40 mg or Esomeprazole, Domperidone combination before breakfast once a day for two weeks. If not adequately relieved, then you should add syrup Sucral O (Oxetacaine, Sucralfate) or Gelusil two teaspoons three times a day for a week.
