I'm having chest pain for the past 20 days and it's getting worse. I saw a gastric doctor, but it didn't help. I have diabetes and I'm on insulin. I just visited a pulmonologist who did a chest X-ray and gave me digestive tablets and tonic. Should I be doing more tests or is this the right way to go?
