How should a clinician evaluate recurrent, worsening left-sided chest pain and intermittent palpitations to differentiate between cardiac and gastrointestinal causes in a patient currently taking levothyroxine, sertraline, and a proton pump inhibitor?

To safely tell these causes apart, your doctor will first focus on your heart. They will likely perform an electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood tests to rule out cardiac issues. This is especially important since thyroid medication can sometimes affect heart rhythm. If your heart is healthy, your doctor will look into gastrointestinal causes, like acid reflux, or see if your current medications need adjusting. Please seek medical evaluation promptly to ensure you are safe and get the right relief.
