Patient's question:
I am 34 years old. Recently, I don't know why I always feel nauseous and like vomiting. My stomach has a dull ache, and sometimes I experience heartburn and acid reflux. I went to the hospital, and it got better for a while, but then it started again. Why does belching cause chest pain?Doctor's answer:
If you have a sore throat, apart from chest pain, check if it's caused by gastritis. For chest pain, you need to have an electrocardiogram (ECG) to carefully check if it's due to heart disease. If the ECG is normal, you need to have an endoscopy to carefully check if it's caused by gastritis. If gastritis is the cause, you need to be treated with omeprazole and others, and it's also necessary to follow up for reexamination.
