[|Human|] Lately Ive been getting strange symptoms when I eat.A few days ago I had a sharp stabbing pain in my chest after eating, my left arm went a little numb and after the pain subsided (15 minutes or so) I had the sweats and nausea for a few hours after. My arm also felt odd the rest of the night. From that point on, any time I eat anything I start burping quite a lot, and sometimes my left arm feels numb.Im 22 years old, 256 pounds, 6 feet 1 inch tall.I had an EKG about a week and a half ago, before all this and the doctor told me it came back perfect. Absolutely perfect. Not sure what to do now though. Could it be a heart related thing? Should I go back to my doctor?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. No need to worry about heart diseases as you are too young (22 years) and having normal ECG recently. In my opinion, you are mostly having stress and anxiety related HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) because you are having chest pain and burping immediately after eating.  HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause symptoms of chest pain, burping etc. So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. 3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid junk food. 4. Take pantoprazole tablet on empty stomach. 5. Quit smoking and Alcohol if you have these habits. 6. Go for walking after meals. 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.
