Patient's question:
At midnight, my chest hurts, I feel acid reflux, it's very painful, I want to vomit, what's going on? How can it be treated?Doctor's answer:
Recurring chest pain is recommended to be first carefully checked for whether there is a lung infection, pleurisy, tuberculosis, or pneumothorax, as all of these may be possible causes. Additionally, it is necessary to consider whether there may be a possibility of intercostal neuralgia or costochondritis. Sometimes, it is also important to pay attention to gastrointestinal ulcers and pancreatic diseases, as they may also cause this symptom. It is also necessary to carefully check if there are any issues with the liver and gallbladder through ultrasound and liver function tests. An electrocardiogram should also be performed to check for the possibility of myocardial ischemia. In addition to treating stomach acid, it is recommended that patients pay attention to their diet in daily life and maintain a cheerful mood to enhance their physical condition and slow down the recovery process.
