Hello. According to your description, the doctor advises you to have a chest X-ray to check your lungs, if the results are normal, you should have a gastroscopy to check for gastroesophageal reflux disease or not? Because symptoms of heat in the mid-sternal region are common in patients with gastroesophageal reflux disease. However, we should not subjectively ignore respiratory diseases, that's why we have to take a chest X-ray first.
Thank you for your question to Vinmec Health System. Best regards.
