Why Do I Have An Uncomfortable Feeling In My Chest?
Good Evening sir
I am 40 male.Recently I am feeling uncomfortness in the left side of the chest. I feel littlie tightness in chest and occasional shortness of breath which will usually go off with belching. some times I feel this this pain is external to chest bones. I have regular habit of walking for 4 km which take 40 minutes. I have done ECG, 2D Echo , TMT, Lipid profile tests. All are fine. ( Total Cholesterol:161, Triglycerides:106, LDL:88, HDL:52,VLDL 21). The doctor told it may be due to acidity and prescribed antacids. Can I simply forgot about this pain. Afyer how long I have to go to tests.

You have not mentioned how you feel after taking antacids..
Take atleast 15 days of regular antacids and if you feel better then you dont have to worry about anything..
It appears from your details that you are probably suffering from gastric acidity an as all the tests are normal it is less likely to be related to heart..
Just need to ask you few more history:
1) are you allergic to strong smells or cold foodstuffs
2) do u hear whistling sounds from your chest during these episodes..
