What Causes Sore Diaphragm With Heaviness In Chest?

I have a very sore diaphragm. It feels like when you work out for the first time in a long time and have that sore feeling. I have not exercised in a long time and I haven t done any heavy lifting. Also my chest is heavy like there is a 50 pound weight resting in the middle of my chest. What could be causing this?

Hello,

This can due to excessive gastritis or underlying cardiac pathology. You can try an OTC antacid if no relief then get a basic cardiac evaluation done which includes an ECG and echocardiography. Consult with reports.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
