i had a nuclear stress test 4 months ago, and everything was ok. i am having sharp center chest pain that comes and goes. what dr should i see?

Accepted Answer

GERD or gallbladder: Now that cardiac w/u reveals nothing, then the next process in the differential would be gallbladder or esophageal issues. You may have reflux disease or esophageal spasm. You could have biliary colic or dyskinesia. Talk to your doctor. In the meantime, eat a lower fat diet, don't eat large meals or lie down after meals. If it's spasm, drinking tepid water could help. Good luck.
