Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

My chest has been feeling a lot of pressure randomly throughout the day. It will be fine for some time and then again feel pressurized. Even though I can work out perfectly fine for an hour or so. I am not sure what is going on.

Kindly help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your queries and can understand your concern.

It is most probably gastritis and reflux disease. Do you also have upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain while having food, sour water feeling in your throat, or chest burning? These are the other symptoms that may be associated.

You should avoid a fatty, oily, and spicy diet. Take 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. Have lots of green leafy vegetables, and fruits. Avoid smoking, as it can also cause similar symptoms, and alcohol if any.

I suggest you take the tablet 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 O or Gelusil two teaspoons three times a day for a week.

Considering your age, the probability of heart disease is very less in you.

I hope this helps you.

Thank you.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
