I'm supposed to get an operation as my doctor recommended, but I'm really not comfortable with endoscopy surgery. On top of that, I'm working and it's tough to get time off. Is there any alternative option that might work for me?

I'm experiencing some concerning pain in my chest, arms, and shoulders. I've already had an ECG, Echocardiogram, and TMT test done, and all the results were normal. After an endoscopy, I was diagnosed with H. pylori and took antibiotics for two weeks, followed by more medication for about seven weeks now. But I'm still feeling this pain. Is it something I should be worried about, or is it normal?

no, take tablet zerodol for 3 days, if it still paining consult a physician
