Hello doctor! I have symptoms of throbbing left chest pain, sometimes there is a throbbing heart palpitations, the duration is about 3-5 seconds, accompanied by numbness in both arms and legs, which often occurs in the evening. During the day, I have a feeling of choking in the throat, a slight dizziness, and sometimes pain in the abdomen. I went to the hospital and the doctor diagnosed me with gastritis and gastroesophageal reflux disease. Doctor let me ask if gastritis will numb the limbs, increase the heart rate? Thank you very much doctor.

Answer
Hello, please answer the question: “Does gastritis make limbs numb, heart rate increases?” as follows:
Gastritis can numb the limbs, the heart rate increases transiently. After treatment, the above symptoms will disappear. Chest pain is a common symptom of the heart and lungs or musculoskeletal. At your age, there is rarely a physical disease of the heart and lungs unless you have congenital heart disease (disease in the womb).
If the transient symptoms go away on their own, there is no need to worry. But if it bothers you, affects your life, especially symptoms increase with exertion, you should see a cardiologist at the nearest medical facility.
You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System to be examined and consulted by a specialist doctor. Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec. Best regards!
