Hello Prajakta ji,

Thank you for sharing your concern. Chest discomfort due to hyperacidity (acid reflux or GERD) is quite common, especially in younger individuals, and can feel scary because it often mimics heart-related pain. Since your ECGs have been normal (including one just 2 days ago), it's a good sign that your heart is likely not the cause.

Possible Reason: Acid Reflux (Hyperacidity)

• Burning in the chest (especially after meals or when lying down)

• Sour taste in the mouth or frequent burping

• Feeling full or bloated

• Pain improves with antacids or changes in diet

What You Can Do

1. Diet & Lifestyle Tips:

   • Eat small, frequent meals instead of large ones

   • Avoid oily, spicy, and acidic foods (tomato, citrus, etc.)

   • Don’t lie down right after meals – wait at least 2-3 hours

   • Elevate the head of your bed slightly if nighttime symptoms occur

   • Avoid smoking and alcohol

2. Medical Help:

   • Continue acid-reducing medications if prescribed

   • Consider an upper GI endoscopy if symptoms persist

   • If you’re anxious about chest pain, a gastroenterologist can rule out other causes for peace of mind

Important Note

Your constant worry is understandable, but repeated normal ECGs and symptoms that match acidity strongly suggest it’s not heart-related. However, if pain changes pattern, becomes sharp, radiates to your arm/jaw, or occurs with breathlessness, do consult urgently.

If needed, HexaHealth can help you connect with a good gastroenterologist in Mumbai for further evaluation. You're taking the right steps – stay positive and continue monitoring.

Wishing you good health always!
