For the past 3 days, I ve been having severe chest pain with a burning sensation in the middle of my chest. It literally takes my breath away and makes my heart race, then it eases off for awhile. I ve been debating on going to the ER as it keeps recurring. If it continues, should I go to the ER?
Hi I do care for your concern. Most of the time the pain in middle of chest and burning type suggest more of ulcer related pain. I would advise starting on antacid medication such as omeprazole low dose two times a day for two weeks. If the symptoms persist during the treatment then it is advisable to consult your physician and get an electrocardiogram done to rule out heart related causes. Hope your condition returns to normal. Hope I have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask. Thank you.
