Is it possible for the heaviness in my chest to be related to gastric issues or anxiety? I've been experiencing this chest heaviness for the past three months, and my heart tests have come back normal. I'm trying to figure out what might be causing it. Any ideas?
Yes, chest heaviness can be caused by both gastric problems and anxiety. For gastric issues, you can try taking antacids like **Ranitidine** 150mg twice daily before meals to reduce stomach acid. For anxiety, you can try **Escitalopram** 10mg once daily in the morning to help manage your symptoms. It is important to also make lifestyle changes such as avoiding trigger foods for gastric issues and practicing relaxation techniques for anxiety.
