Why do I have burning pain in arms and chest?

Patient's Query

Iam a 23 year old female. I experience burning pain in arms, chest and upper back accompanied by chest and back pains especially when lying down. I have insomnia also. I tried taking over the counter medicine but there's no change

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

You may be experiencing acid reflux symptoms that can manifest as a burning pain in the arms, chest, and upper back, as well as with chest and back pains when lying down. It can also be associated with insomnia. To help with this, try eating smaller meals, avoiding acidic foods, and not lying down right after eating. You can also try elevating your head while sleeping. If these tips don't help, it's essential to see a gastroenterologist for further evaluation and treatment.

Female | 24

As a medical expert, I would recommend you to make a gastroenterologist consult about your anal fissure scar issue. Over-the-counter creams may not work and could cause other problems. A gastroenterologist can prescribe appropriate treatment measures including topical medications or surgery if required.

Hi I am a 21 year old female who has been travelling in Europe for 1 months. I have been having diarrhoea for the past week on and off and have been taking anti diarrhoea tablets. These block me up and cause stomach cramps. What would you recommend? Thank you

Female | 21

From what you've been saying, the diagnosis could be you having traveler's diarrhea, a typical thing when exposed to new places. Anti-diarrhea pills can make things worse by stopping your body from getting rid of the bad stuff that causes stomach cramps. It is best to replenish your fluids by drinking clean water and consuming sports drinks or oral rehydration solutions that contain electrolytes. Stick to the basics, bland foods like rice, bananas, and toast for a while until things settle down. If your symptoms persist, consult your physician for medical advice.

Male | 30

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) can be quite difficult. It brings about pains similar to ulcers and a sore lower back which, can be a nuisance. The source is not yet fully known, but some factors such as stress, diet, or the sensitivity of the gut may be affecting it. However, there is no magic solution, but learning to cope with stress, eating healthy, and some light physical activity can help alleviate the symptoms.

I got a swallowing bump at the top of my butox what can I do to make it go down

Male | 38

I would suggest that you see a gastroenterologist who will give you the right medical help and care. A lump at the top of your buttocks that's more difficult to swallow could suggest any condition, including a perianal abscess or a pilonidal cyst.

The stress from work and the pressure to perform can really take a toll on our mental health. It's no wonder you're feeling overwhelmed. Depression and schizophrenia are serious conditions that can be influenced by a variety of factors, including stress, genetic predisposition, and life events. Seeking help from a psychiatrist  was a good first step. The medication he prescribed, olanzapine, is commonly used to manage symptoms of schizophrenia. However, it can sometimes cause mood swings as a side effect. It's crucial to communicate openly with psychiatrist about these side effects so he can adjust your treatment plan accordingly. Dealing with stomach issues like ulcers and GERD on top of everything else must be incredibly challenging. Pantoprazole is a standard treatment for these conditions, but it's essential to follow up with your gastroenterologist regularly to ensure it's effectively managing your symptoms. In terms of your current job situation at SBI, it sounds like the demands are adding to your stress levels. It might be helpful to have an open conversation with your manager about how you're feeling. Exploring stress management techniques, like mindfulness or exercise, could also be beneficial.
