View allMy mom, who's 75, has been having this center chest pain for 25 days now. Last week the doctor gave her met xl 12.5 and veloz d to take every morning after looking at her ECG report, but it hasn't helped with the pain. Today, after checking her 2D echo, they suggested she take Mucaine syrup and Sucrafil three times a day for a month. She's also on telmikind am 80 (half a tablet) and rosuless c 10 every night. I'm really worried since it's been more than a week without improvement. Do you have any idea what might be causing this pain?
Based on the medications your mother is currently taking and the symptoms described, the chest pain could be due to acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). The medications prescribed such as Veloz D, Mucaine, and Sucrafil are commonly used to treat symptoms of acid reflux. It is possible that the pain is related to acid irritation in the esophagus. To further alleviate the symptoms, you can consider adding a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) such as Esomeprazole (brand name: Nexium) or Pantoprazole (brand name: Protonix) to reduce stomach acid production. The usual dosage for Esomeprazole is 20-40mg once daily before a meal, and for Pantoprazole, it is 40mg once daily in the morning. Additionally, lifestyle modifications such as avoiding trigger foods, eating smaller meals, avoiding lying down after eating, and maintaining a healthy weight can also help in managing acid reflux symptoms. It is important to continue the current medications as prescribed and follow up with your doctor for further evaluation if the chest pain persists.
