Suggest Treatment For Chest Dryness Due To A Treadmill Workout

I experience a dry feeling in the middle of my chest. This feeling comes about after about 4-5 minutes of walking on the treadmill at 3.0 miles per hour. I had a cardiologist check me out (Ekg, stress test) and my heart is in good shape. When I do other resistance type actiivities at the gym I do not experience this feeling. Prior to being sick before Christmas I could walk on the treadmill at 3.5 and 4.0 miles per hour without any of this tight feeling. Any ideas what is causing this or what type doctor I should see?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

I see through the query that the heart parameters are fine.
In my opinion, the symptoms can be related to a stomach issue, such as acid reflux disease.
I recommend using a gastro protector such as Omeprazole 20 mg daily in the morning.
I also recommend using antacids such as Maalox three times a day.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
