I ve been having a lot of chest pressure. I ve seen my doctor and had a ekg done and every thing is normal. Got some meds for the chest pressure but its not helping much. it comes and goes. Better in the mornings or when I m laying down. Any suggestions to what it could be.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. By your history and description, possibility of HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more. It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause central chest pain, chest tightness and pressure. So avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic Chat Doctor.  Lose weight, if you are obese. Quit smoking if you are smoker. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
