I've been dealing with this left-side chest pain and I'm really worried. I went to the emergency room because of it, and while my ECG was normal, the doctor gave me some antiacid and anti-gas meds. It seemed to help a bit after a couple of days. A cardiologist later ran heart tests, which also came back normal, and he suggested the same meds. But today, the pain spiked again, and although it eased a bit after I ate and took more medicine, it's still lingering. I'm not feeling pain anywhere else, just in the left chest. I'm concerned about what could be causing this. Should I be consulting a different kind of doctor for better treatment?

I'm experiencing this pain on the left side of my chest, right around the heart area, and I'm not sure if it's something heart-related. It comes with shortness of breath, a lot of burping, and I've been dealing with some acidity and gastric issues as well. Do you think this is more about my heart or my stomach acting up? Which kind of doctor should I talk to about this?

it is related to your stomach, consult a gastroenterologist
