Hello Doctor,
I'm feeling really unwell at the moment and I'm not sure what to do. The area below my breast or chest hurts, and it feels like something is blocking my throat, making it difficult to breathe. I took some antacids earlier, but it hasn’t helped. I tried lying down, but it feels uncomfortable, and it’s the same when I sit up. I'm really worried about what's going on. Can you please advise me on what to do next?
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
1. I understand that you’re feeling quite uncomfortable, and I recommend you consult a doctor as soon as possible.
2. Your symptoms could be related to gastric issues, but there’s also a possibility that it might be heart-related.
3. I strongly suggest getting an ECG to check for any heart concerns and consulting a cardiologist to rule out any potential risks. Please seek immediate medical attention to ensure your health and safety.
Thanks
