Can Use Of Chewing Ghutka Cause Digestion Problems?

Hi, I'm a 21 years boy. When I was in class 9 I used to chew ghutka with some bad guys. From last 3 years I got many problems in my stomach and chest. I've consulted many doctors but they were failed. Now a days I'm sufferin with digest problem and a pain in the left side of my chest. So what should I do now? Is it created from chewing ghutka?

Hello,

You may be suffering from acute gastritis or peptic ulcer disease or esophageal spasm or cardiac pain.

Until examination is done it is difficult to say what it is.

Get it done ultrasound abdomen, upper GI endoscopy and ECG.

Avoid chewing of tobacco contain products. Avoid alcohol and smoking if you're taking.

Use tablet pantoprazole. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
