Alternative treatment for chest pains 

There are a variety of reasons for chest pain. Of course, the first thing that all of us think of is a heart attack. But very often it is something that you ate, which causes this pain in the chest. In most cases it turns out to be indigestion or the development of gas. However, if your chest pain persists for some time or if it is accompanied by any other symptoms like breathlessness, loss of sensation in your body, then you should certainly visit your doctor immediately.

You can try to ease your discomfort by holding a hot water bottle to your chest and abdomen. Lie down and hold the bottle. You can also try sipping on some hot water. But you will require a complete check up by your doctor to decide on what is causing the pain in your chest.

You can help prevent any more chest pains by making drastic changes in your lifestyle and the food you eat. If you smoke regularly, then you should take active steps to stop this habit. Try to avoid using too much salt in you cooking. A low salt, low fat, low calorie diet will work wonders for you and ensure that you don't get any pains in the chest. Ensure that you only eat lean meat, with all the fat trimmed away. Avoid eating liver, kidney or heart since these are high in cholesterol.
