A member asked:
Burning sensation/pain in lower center of chest not relieved by antacids, w/racing and nervousness. could this be anxiety or something else?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: It's possibly anxiety in a body that has a physical sensitivity in those areas. Consider a good psychological eval to help Dx before taking an anxiety Rx since they can have side efx and be hard to stop. If you do need them, therapy can minimize the doses and duration. Also check for ulcer or other GI issues - it's possible to have both need attention. Best!
