Chest pain
Hello doctors, my sister has been diagnosed with anxiety disorder and acid reflux too. She took medicines for reflux for two weeks and its been a week she's taking meds for anxiety. From two days, she's feeling pain in the chest and a little heaviness. Is it all related to anxiety/reflux or should we get some tests done?

This chest pain and heaviness is best described as gastric reflux in this condition. Provided your sister is younger age. Should get one chest x ray and ecg done

Mostly it will be related to either anxiety or reflux..
But chest pain should never be neglected..
So better to do Electrocardiogram & chest xray, if she is having persistent or recurrent chest pain.
