What Causes Prolonged Feeling Of Heaviness Around The Chest With Lots Of Burping?

Can symptoms of a heart attack last longer than a month. I recently had all the tests done to check my heart and was told that because of my walking every day they had to speed up the tread mill to get a reading. All said and done my heart is in excellent condition. I have been experiencing a heavy feeling in my chest around the breast bone with a lot of burping. Any suggestions

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain the symptoms of burping/belching along with discomfort in chest and around breast bone seems to be due to Gastro esophageal reflux disease also commonly known as Acid reflux..
You should consult a Gastroenterologist and get evaluated and an upper G.I Endoscopy can be done to confirm the cause..

You can be advised to take Proton Pump Inhibitors like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole..
Antacids like Milk of Magnesia can be taken before meals.
Avoid spicy and heavy meals..
Do walking for 15 to 2O minutes daily..
Always take walk after meals..
Drink plenty of water and take more of green vegetables and fruits in diet..
Take your dinner atleast 2 hours before sleeping..
Sleep with head slightly raised as compared to feet and recline in left lateral position..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
