<human>: For a period of  2 weeks I have been sporadically having a pressure feeling in the center of my chest followed by mild acid reflux or indigestion. It only lasts for 3 to 5 minutes each time. Should I be concerned? I dont have health insurance and cant really afford to go to the doctor to get checked. Thank you so much!
<bot>: Hi thanks for contacting Chat Doctor.... According to history provided by you here you can have the following possibility...-Pain by acid re flux(referred pain)-Musculoskeletal pain-Bronchitis (if cough present)Take rest... Avoid strenuous exercise... For pain analgesic can be taken... Hot pad applied over chest for relief from pain.... For acid reflux take pantoprazole . Head elevated while sleeping... For rule out bronchitis chest x-ray can be done..... If still no improvement further work up done with echocardiography, treadmill test and D dimer ... D dimer is for rule out pulmonary embolism if suspected.(sudden increase chest pain).... Take care
