Question : ACDT problem since last 10 years so I am taking ranitidine .
Brief Answer:
Cardiac issues should be ruled out
Detailed Answer:
Hello
It’s important to rule out any underlying cardiac pathology first because many patients keep confusing cardiac symptoms with acidity and keep taking antacids for long with any significant relief.
It’s advisable that you should get a basic cardiac evaluation done which should include
1. Ecg
2. Echocardiogram
3. TMT
This will help rule to cardiac pathology.
Kind Regards
