Hello ,

It can be gastric esophageal reflux disease or panic/anxiety episodes.

But chest pain lasting for 3 days needs medical attention.

Ecg alone cannot rule out all diseases. So may need additional evaluation and treatment

Please go to ER for further evaluation Please dont treat at home.

Thank you

You have severe chest + upper stomach pain with night worsening, a sense of doom, and persistent symptoms for 3 days. This is NOT normal. You need medical evaluation now. Your ECG being normal is reassuring, but does NOT rule out dangerous non-heart causes. You should go to the ER today.

Chest pain that comes and goes, especially in combination with extreme fatigue and a sense of impending doom, should not be ignored. Given your symptoms, although your ECG was normal, it’s important to consider other potential causes. It’s possible that the pain might be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or significant anxiety, but it’s also crucial to rule out conditions like unstable angina or aortic dissection. Since your ECG was normal, but you’re experiencing severe and persistent symptoms, it’s advisable to seek further evaluation to exclude other cardiac issues, even without obvious ECG changes. If you haven’t already, it may be beneficial to have blood tests to check for cardiac enzymes and repeat the ECG to look for any subtle changes that may have been missed. Alongside this, considering an upper gastrointestinal evaluation could uncover potential culprits related to the digestive tract causing chest discomfort such as GERD. Reflux can cause increased burping and mimic serious cardiac conditions. Stress and anxiety can also manifest physically in people and contribute to a feeling of chest tightness and fatigue. As a cautious approach, head back to a healthcare provider, particularly cardiology if available, for a more comprehensive assessment. If they determine it’s non-cardiac, they might suggest lifestyle changes such as adjusting diet, small frequent meals, and possibly some form of acid suppression therapy. Don’t let self-care delay you heading back in for an immediate assessment; you know your body best and if you feel the pain intensifying or symptoms such shortness of breath, nausea, or dizziness emerge, go to an emergency room as soon as possible. Taking prompt action is key with these symptoms to ensure your safety.

Hello Aswadhy, thank you for sharing your concern. If your ECG is normal, it might be due to gastric issues. Start this medicine -

-Cap. Pantop + DSR before breakfast × 10 days - Syp. Antacid 2 tsp thrice a day × 10 days.

Follow up after 10 days.

Regards, Dr. Nirav Jain MBBS, DNB D.Fam.Med
