What Causes Pressure In The Chest And Heart Fluttering?

My 24 yer old daughter called me this morning saying she was having chest pressure. I asked her if it felt like an elephant on her chest and she said no, maybe just a person. She felt her hert was fluttering a bit. She has no known heart conditions. I just spoke with her again and she says she also can t get a deep breath and she is still having chest pain. She in prone to anxiety and has had panic attacks before. This isn t the same.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

There is a possibility of acidity and gastritis. Just ask her if she has also have upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in throat or chest burning, these are the other symptoms and may be associated.

If she should avoid fatty, oily and spicy diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress.

She should get prescribed tab Pan DSR 40 mg or esomiprazole domperidone combination beforebreakfast once a day for a week. She should also get ecg and Holter monitoring done to rule out cardiac arrhythmias.

Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
