A member asked:

I am 62 years old, none smoker/drinker, lost 90 lbs over last 7 months, now weigh 245 lbs./ 5'10" but i still get strong chest pains when i bend over?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest pains: Chest pain on bending over may be due to a hiatus hernia aggravated by abdominal obesity. Further weight reduction may be very helpful. A gastroenterologist is best qualified to evaluate you for this problem and an old fashioned barium swallow and upper gi series may be ordered to demonstrate a hiatus hernia.
