Patient: I am 35. healthy.  I have had anxiety in the past and was told i have pvc's.  everthing has been calm the past few years.  Last week i started to get chest pain, rapid heart rate, and i feel like i have bubbles in my chest that make me want to cough,  what could this be Doctor: Hi. I can understand your concern. If the chest pain is disturbing your routine activity then get  a chest x ray done to rule out any lung infection .Ideally ecg and 2d echo should be done first in your case. If both are normal than no need to worry for heart diseases. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can cause similar kind of chest pain. You can take proton pump inhibitors. But along with drugs you need to follow certain below mentioned lifestyle modifications for better symptomatic relief. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Go for walk after meals. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. Loose weight if you are obeseDon't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
