Question 1

an abnormal ekg with normal variation means a heart condition? does anxiety cause abnormal ekg? i was having chest pains frequently, sometimes that comes and goes. diagnose with acid reflux. passed the stress test and my chest x-ray looks fine?

Accepted Answer

: An EKG with normal variation should not be interpreted as abnormal. Normal variation does mean normal in medicine. Anxiety can cause sinus tachycardia or ectopic heart beats so the EKG result will be read as abnormal. You passed the stress test which rules out coronary insufficiency as the cause of the chest pain.

Question 2

can gerd and acid reflux cause some chest tightness normal chest x ray and complete blood count normal  is there some inflammation which is the cause?

Accepted Answer

Very common: The stomach entrance is just behind &amp; to the left of the heart. Periodic backwash of stomach acid routinely irritates the lower swallow tube &amp; can trigger tightness or spasms. Reclining after meals, caffeine, nicotine, stress  &amp; many foods can aggravate this. Diet &amp; behavior modification can help many as can acid reducer preparations.

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It is unlikely that your symptoms are from the beans you ate 3 months ago. If you are overweight, your symptoms may be due to increased intraabdominal pressure, losing weight is imperative.  It would be prudent to see your doctor.

Question 8

i've had burning in chest n cough for 3 days n some hoarseness throat raw n like inside chest is could this be acid reflux ?

Maybe partly: WHile the burning in the chest could be related to GERD, the other symptoms sound like they could be related to a common cold (viral infection) or seasonal allergies. GERD can cause all the symptoms as well, especially if there is liquid coming all the way up to the throat. OK to try anti-acid meds to see if it helps the burning. See you primary care oif no relief, or worse. Hope this helps!
