I have been experiencing these symptoms for 4 years now and everytime I go to a doctor they always dismiss it and say I m stressed even though I m not is this something to worry about ??
Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. In my opinion you should consult cardiologist and get done 1. ECG2. 2d echo3. Stress test rule out cardiac cause. If all of the above are normal then no need to worry much for cardiac cause. Anxiety can also cause chest pain and heart burn. Anxiety actually causes HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease). So better control of anxiety is needed in your case. So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressors in your life and start working on its solution. Start proton pump inhibitor for HERD.Don't worry, you will be alright.
