A “heavy chest” probably has nothing
to do with stomach pain and green stool.
The sensation of a heavy chest can be due
to many reasons but at your age (26) the
most common reason is usually anxiety. Of
course, before blaming anxiety as the
cause of the condition, lung and heart
disorders have to be excluded first. You
can visit your primary health provider to
request information about diagnostic
procedures to investigate the heart and
lung health.
Stomach pain and green stools could be due
to some type of gastro-intestinal
infection. Gastro intestinal infections
usually pass spontaneously. You can drink
alot of liquids and electrolytes to
prevent dehydration. For the stomach pain,
you may also request a prescription for a
spasmolitic drug like trospium. A diet
without fats and sugar is also important
during times of gastro-intestinal
infection.
