What causes chest pain with breathlessness?
Patient: i have pain in upper abdomen, very sore to touch. chest pain also, after eating the chest pain is very bad and breathlessness. i have lost 3/4 stone in past 2 months as cannot eat much. had ct scan last wk, waiting on results but feel so weak and ill. Doctor: Hi, thank you for asking healthcare magic.With this presentation, I think the problem is coming from acid secretion in the stomach. it may be gastritis or peptic ulcer. I would advise you try antacids in association with another drug like omeprazole, pantoprazole, ranitidine or cimetidine for about 2 weeks. It would be important to do a certain laboratory test called H. pylori test to be sure that this bacteria is not the cause of this problem. If the test is positive, you would need a special combination of drugs to eradicate it.I hope that helpsI wish you good health
