Chest Pain?

Question

I get this sharp pain right in my chest which goes all the way through to my back. It sorta feels like when you eat too fast and the food isn't going down & gets stuck halfway through. I drink alcohol daily so I'm not sure if thats the cause. I've asked my doc and I had a ekg test and nothings wrong. So what can be the problem.

Answer 1

It may be that you suffer from indigestion. This gives the patient the feelings that are experienced by people who do have heart problems. The thing is, if it is releived by an antacid such as Mylanta..then it is most likely indigestion..or it could be a duodenal ulcer, in which case you need to take something like Omeprazole, which is an anti-ulcerant. This should allay the pains you are getting.
When people come to the ER I give them a mixture of lignocaine Viscose and Mylanta//if the chest pains go away then it is most likely they have an ulcer.
Heart problems can be defined from ulcers/indigestion from the severity of the pain and the "Crushing" feeling (like and elephant is sitting on your chest is the best description). If the pain is felt in the jaw or radiating/referral pains to the shoulder..call the ambulance and get to the ER STAT!!! An ecg can be done and bloods taken to determine extent of heart affect from the chest pain

Likely explanation from your ecg looking "Normal" that you have an ulcer..or..if it is heart related..the episode had resolved and will not show up on the ecg at the time.
Oh, and try to stem the drinking or give it up hon...drinking can cause gastric ulcers to form :(

There are three nerves that run along your stomach. One of them leads into your chest. If you are consuming alcohol, your stomach may become irritated, which in turn may irritate that nerve and cause you to have chest pains. The pains are similar to that of a heart attack (in men). Women's symptoms are different.

Stress may be leading you to drink. Reduce your stress level a different way and you may see the symptoms go away.
