Hello doctor! I went to drink alcohol and choked on a frog bone and swallowed it, then got dizzy and went to the doctor, and the doctor said it was okay, but when I went home for a month, I often had difficulty breathing, flatulence, indigestion. I had endoscopy and examination, only gastritis, went to many hospitals and took medicine but it didn't help. Recently, there have been more symptoms of chest pain, chest pain, throbbing. The doctor asked me, is the sharp pain accompanied by a feeling of tightness in the chest is a symptom of cardiovascular disease? Or caused by stomach disease? I thank you doctor!

Hello! You had a gastroscopy, a gastroenterologist examination and it was concluded that you have gastritis, which shows that your frog bone has not caused any damage to the esophagus and stomach. If your symptoms of bloating and indigestion do not improve after taking the medicine, see your gastroenterologist again to have your doctor re-evaluate and adjust your medication (if necessary).
As for the question "Is the sharp pain with a feeling of tightness in the chest a symptom of cardiovascular disease? Your symptoms are not typical or suggestive of cardiovascular disease. If you are not overweight, do not smoke, do not have hyperlipidemia (blood lipid test results) or have a family history of cardiovascular disease, you should not worry about cardiovascular disease.
In case you have abnormalities or cardiovascular risk factors that your doctor just mentioned, you should see a cardiologist for an accurate diagnosis. You can also visit the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more specific advice from doctors.
