Hi doctor, I am 18 years old female. I had chest pain before four years. So I visited the doctor, and he told me that it is a heartbeat disorder. He gave me a medicine called Magne B6. I was taking it for the past four years and now, I have stopped it and my pain has got worse. I have chest pain every day. Please help.
Hi. I need to know more about the symptoms, like precipitating factors (factors that increase pain). Mostly it is gastritis and reflux disease. Do you have upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on taking food, sour water feeling in throat or chest burning? If yes, it supports the diagnosis. You should avoid taking the fatty, oily and high-calorie diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Take lots of green leafy vegetables, and fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol, if any. You can take tablet Pan DSR 40 mg (Pantoprazole) before breakfast once a day for two weeks. Secondly, does this pain increase on applying pressure over the chest area? If yes, it could be costochondritis, and it is a musculoskeletal type of pain and needs prolonged NSAID (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) therapy. Does this pain increase on deep breathing and coughing? If yes, it is a pain arising from the lining of lungs, and it requires NSAIDs treatment and evaluation.
