Heaviness in chest

Question

Heaviness in chest

Asked for Female, 54 Years

My mother is complaining of heaviness in the chest in the morning for few days now. She feels that all the food she had eaten the day before is there on her chest. She had lost appetite also earlier but now has regained it a bit. She had digestion problems also sometime back along with palpitations earlier but now that is not there now, not sure about the palpitations though. Also she has pain in the back and stone in gall bladder. A physician nearby has suggested Stress Echo. Should we go ahead with the Stress Echo?? It looks a bit scary! And which specialist doctors should we take her to??

Sometimes it is very difficult to differentiate between indigestion and cardiac chest pain. Get an ECG and baseline Echo. If both are normal, then next step would be stress testing.
