Every since my HA (6 months ago) I have suffered mild heart/chest pain from time to time, but every day and for many months I have been getting relief by releasing trapped esophagus wind. I do it by chewing gum, walking, upper body exercises, ginger tea and getting my wife to burp me, or a combination of two or more of these.
I know many others have understandably complained about chest pain, but has anyone else connected the two, either with wind or gastric reflux?
Yea I get a lot of wind at both ends 🥺
And me but my doc has stopped Adcal and I have less now. In my case it was a side effect of the Adcal
I have to say I expecetd a much greater response, pretty much everyone on this forum has had heart pain and much of it related to wind and acid reflux. Seems I was wrong.
Hi yes I have reflux was sent to my ENT consultant have speech therapist to get my reflux meds changed
They changed my antacid meds for a stonger and more compatible one, didn't make much difference. The other problem is the body changes as time passes after a HA, my diet changes, levels and methods of exercise change, attitude, levels of fear and stress and so on. So if things are improving I may not know the cause, but should be happy.
I am on a WFPB (vegan) diet so no-one gets down wind of me!
I think there is some link - although not severe wind - since last ablation I tend to get days when I notice I burp a lot - previously it tended to go the other direction. Sometimes the burping 'attack' follows chest pain, ectopics and /or raised heart beat. Not always though (unless it is to a less noticeable level)
How is the medical services over there? I go thai eery year. I hae lived there. My wife is Thai. I stayed in ubon province. I want to keep going to Thai athouh I have a triple cabbage in front of me. Mahol
Well I am lucky I live only a few km from Khon Kaen's main Heart Hospital, with a big sign up on the main Mittaparp road (highway2) and they put in the stents and all went well, although bloody uncomforatble the 2nd procedure.
I was lucky too that I had some cash in the bank I could access. They wanted £9,000 in all, "money or your life" i guess? I replied "my life I am saving up".....
Private hospitals are generally good as they attract the best doctors and are jam packed with nurses. You don't wait very long, example:-
A few years back I had a lump on my neck and over the years it had grown to the size of a golfball, looked really unsightly, so I went it to ask. "Would you like it removed?", "yes" "Now?", "ok" 1/2hour, a snip and a few stitches later it was gone, 100% pain free. A week after that couldn't see any scar. £120.
A year later had a big mole removed from my back, exactly the same but only £90, they did biopsies in both cases.
So I guess I cant complain.
The drugs they gave me after the stents were standard and since then I have only changed my antiacid.
Thanks
