I have had for four months now, a persistant presure in my chest, its like a bubble that wont go away. It gets worse at times, goes thru to my back, and varies in pain intensity. I have had lots of testing done but all results have come back normal. I am taking nitroglycerin to releve the pain, but it never gets rid of the presure. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Most common cause for chest pressure is stress and anxiety. But better to rule out cardiac diseases first because he is taking NTG (nitroglycerin) for chest pain. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
