What Could Indigestion With Pressure Around The Chest Suggest?
Should I see a Dr? I ve had bloating, indigestion, gas, pressure in the chest, with mild pain off and on for about 10 days. Using Ranatidine and will feel better but exercise brings the pressure back.Stopped drinking coffee and am trying to eat a bland diet.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
You may not have to see your doctor if the symptoms improve.
The bland diet is a good idea. Restriction of spicy/acidic/ fried foods is recommended.
In addition reduced tomatoes, onions, mint, chocolate.
Ranitidine suppresses the acid in the stomach but would not help to prevent or reduce acid production so you may want to combine with a medication that can do this eg nexium, prilosec, prevacid, protonix
I hope this helps
