Sharp pain in chest
Hi, a friend of mine has a burn injury last week and she's on antibiotics & painkillers for that since then. This morning she was experiencing some sharp pain in the middle of her chest area and some muscular discomfort in her arm. She hasn't been taking her antacids for a couple of days which she did and the pain subsided. Was it because of simply acidity or something else? Kindly help. Thankyou
