Hi DoctorI am working as a store person. I am breathing lots of dust everyday. heavy lifting is there in my job. For the last six moths i have been suffering some type of chest irritation. It is not a pain. something is pushing from inside the left side. I dont have any weight loss. I am bit tensed doctor. Also suffering from severe gas trouble. This chest irritation really making me tensed. I stopped smoking 4 months back. I was not a chain smoker. just 4 or 5 cig per day. Please advice
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Stress and tension can because gaseous distention (bloating). And this in turn causes chest irritation. But you were a smoker so better to rule out lung diseases first. So get done chest x-ray. If chest x-ray is normal then no need to worry much. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Take pantoprazole and levosulperide combination twice daily on empty stomach. Once your gaseous feeling is relieved, your chest irritation will also disappear. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
