I am 38 years old male. I have been suffering from GERD since the last three years. I had mild hiatus hernia when the endoscopy was done. Since the last two months I have severe chest pain on the upper part of my chest and underarm on the left side. I got my TMT Echo and ecg done which was ok about a month and a half ago. I can still walk and do some jogging and I don't really feel uncomfortable. The persistent pain has put me under a lot of stress. What should I do.

If cardiologist has completely evaluated you for ischaemic heart disease, then its a good initial step. Coronary angiography may be able to give right picture about the bloackages in the vessels. Gerd patient is expected to receive antireflux medicines for fair period of time to know the results of treatment. Follow up endoscopy and 24 hr ph study will be of immense help to know the efficacy. Meantime if you are a smoker, quit smoking. Avoid going to bed immediately after taking food.
