My age is 30, weight is 84kgs, height is 5ft and I am a female. Last time when I ate prawns I had severe chest pain. Next day I visited my family doctor. After tests were done I was diagnosed with high VLDL cholesterol(262) and diabetes (182). I started taking medicines and everything was fine for the past 20 days. Today again I had prawns and I had a sharp cramp like pain in my heart for 20 seconds and then heaviness in the chest for more than an hour. Is it because of prawns? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, this kind symptoms after specific food (prawns) is mostly due to acute gastritis. Some food items produce excess acid in the stomach when ingested. Prawns is one of the these items. So Prawns induced gastritis is common thing, and you are having this only. No need to worry about heart diseases. You should take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach before eating Prawns. If possible better to avoid eating Prawns. Avoid excessive hot and spicy food. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
