Brief Answer:
Possible Acute Gastritis.
Detailed Answer:
Hi Sir,
I understand your query and concern.
Since all your reports are normal,it could be Gastritis secondary to improper dietary habits.
I advise you to take Tab.Pantop 40 mg once daily before breakfast for 10 days and Tab.Hifenac plus when you have severe pain.
Drink 3-4 litres of water ,fruit juices and fluids daily.
Take soft and bland meals in time.
Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.
If still symptoms persist then get an Upper GI endoscopy by consulting a Gastro enterologist.
Post your further queries if any,
Thank you.

Thank you doctor for your reply.
I have been having left arm and shoulder pain for few days on and off, along with tingling in my shoulder blade and back. Sometimes the pain is felt in my palm and fingers. I went to a doctor and was diagnosed as cervical related and advised not to use pillows.
My arm pain comes and goes, sometimes lasting few minutes. One month ago my EKG, TMT and 2D echo was done as part of regular checkup and it was all normal. Recently ( two days back) I had severe arm pain and went to the nearest clinic where they did an EKG again, which was normal. They also did Troponin I test and it was normal too.
I tend to worry a lot if my arm pain is cardiac related almost to the point of being hypochondriac. Every small sensation in my chest will make go look up symptoms on the net and make me worry more.
What is the chance of this pain being cardiac related after all these tests being negative. Does cervical pain comes and goes lasting few minutes? Could it be my anxiety.
I would appreciate your response.
Thanks
