Could The Pain In The Chest Be Due To The Sugar Intake?
It appears that I have chest pains after consuming sugar, HFCS, etc. I visited a doctor about this a year ago and had a normal EKG, echocardiogram, etc. At the time, I had not made the correlation between pain and sugar intake. I never followed up because I no longer have health insurance. Male 5'4" 135 lbs.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, if you ate having more sugar in diet and having chest pain or symptoms so this is not related with each other, but this could be due to hyperacidity because may cause such hyper secretion acid and this may cause chest discomfort it would be best to stop sugar intake for sometime if this could helps, else this is nothing to worry, take care.
