Don Chance Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 Guess what, my chest hurts too! It is because of the high levels of SMOG. I suggest relax and try some deep breathing, go somewhere else.. " Any level above 50mcg is considered unsafe as long-term exposure is linked to chronic diseases, including lung and heart problems. “The BMA is urging city residents who have difficulty breathing, eye inflammation, chest pain, or headaches after going outside to see a doctor.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The BMA's recommendation to see a doctor is funny. Will the doctor prescribe a holiday in the Swiss Alps (Bangkok AQI 200, Swiss mountains AQI 3) or on a Norwegian beach?

Not tried much yet but am trying some gaviscon now. Will report back Age & last full check up ? Might want to add 'cardiac' check up next time, sooner than later. I always explained it off as something else, until it wasn't. Requiring a bit of intervention by cardiac surgeon. A few simple tests for peace of mind, and a better, inexpensive options, if needed, than putting it off to find out your diagnosis was a bit off.

Sheryl Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 As it responds to PPI (and was worse when lying flat or bending over) the doctor's assessment of GERD seems correct. OP are you at all overweight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
