My friend is having mild chest pain in the center of her chest. The onset was sudden as she was making a bunk bed. It hurts and gets tight only when she bends over or stretches. She can take full breaths while bending over but she can feel pressure through her chest and throat. She does have history of asthma and acid reflux. Does this sound like something she should visit the ER for?Thank you Allison Travis
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your friend s situation and problem. In my opinion she is having central chest pain due to acid reflux only. Asthma and acid reflux are connected with each other. We need to control both simultaneously to improve symptomatically. Along with Chat Doctor.  1.  Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid hot and spicy food. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 4. Go for walk after meals. 5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. 6. Avoid smoking and alcohol if she has these habits. 7. Lose weight if she is obese.
