Why am I still experiencing chest tightness and gradual pain for the past three months, even though my heart tests (ECGs) are normal and my doctor suspects it is acid reflux (GERD) or a stomach ulcer?

Asked by Male, 23 · 3 days ago

Acid reflux (GERD) or a stomach ulcer can frequently cause chest tightness and pain because the esophagus lies right behind the heart. When stomach acid irritates the esophagus or an ulcer flares up, it can mimic cardiac pain. Healing these areas takes time, often requiring consistent lifestyle adjustments or acid-reducing medications like omeprazole or famotidine. Please continue working with your doctor to find the right treatment plan to help you heal and find relief.
