Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No, this is not correct diagnosis. Heparin is given mostly in cardiac chest pain (coronary artery disease - CAD). With normal ECG, possibility of CAD is less likely. Gastritis can also cause similar kind of pain. So in my opinion, she should definitely get done 2d echo, stress test (trade mill test). If these are also normal, no need to worry about CAD. Give her simple antacid (pantoprazole) twice daily on empty stomach. Ask her to avoid oily and spicy food. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
