Hello,
With the question “What is the sign of pain in the lower chest? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
The location of the pain you describe is the epigastrium, accompanied by pain symptoms that are often related to eating and drinking, so the possibility that many of you have gastroesophageal problems can be as follows: gastritis or gastroesophageal reflux disease.
Therefore, you should visit a gastroenterologist soon for the most accurate guidance and advice. In addition, your diet should limit hot and spicy foods, eat in moderation, do not use alcoholic beverages, coffee, avoid anxiety and stress.
