Stomach problems

2021-02-11 03:48:21
Hi, I have had a chest pain last year and went for a checkup, the doctor after taking ecg prescribed pantacid and Mucaine gel to take after dinner. The pain got relieved after taking the meds for 3 weeks...and whenever I have chest pain I continue the doses for few days . Recently I encounter the stomach and chest pain often, should I continue these medicines or go for endoscopy? How long can I safely continue taking antacids? Thanks
