heartburn

Avatar f tn Forr tha past few months it has been dizziness and chest pain.Now it is the lump in the throat type and difficulty in swallowing feeling.Have recently had some genuine problems with my stomach that have been treated,but was wondering how common such a symptom is amongst everyone else here?It is as if it feels "too real" to be anxiety related.
Avatar n tn Heartburn is a painful, burning feeling in the chest that radiates toward the neck or back. Heartburn is caused by stomach acid rising into the esophagus and may be a symptom of GERD. A person can have symptoms of both indigestion and heartburn. How is your diet? With your type of pain, I would suppliment your diet with an antacid like Prilosec and see if that doesn't help.
955560 tn?1250194545 Heartburn is due to gastric acid, this can happen in the breast bone (the bone in the middle both left and right of the rib cage, also know as the esophagus. This can be like burning sensation or pain which feels like near the heart. If this occurs often you may have GERD. If you feel at somepoint when you burp or breath out, you taste and feel acid appear up your throat and mouth. That is a sign of GERD, coughing and difficulty swollowing may occur in later stages, if left untreated.
Avatar f tn I'm 30 weeks and have been getting pains in my chest since yesterday, anyone know what it could be?
Avatar f tn Heartburn usually is described as a burning pain in the middle of the chest. It may start high in the abdomen or may extend up into the neck. In some patients, however, the pain may be sharp or pressure-like, rather than burning. Such pain can mimic heart pain (angina). In other patients, the pain may extend to the back. Since acid reflux is more common after meals, heartburn is more common after meals.
Avatar m tn For the past month or 2 I have been waking up in the middle of the night usually between 2-5AM and I start to wheeze about 15 minutes later. I have to sit up or walk around and it goes away in almost exactly an hour later,then I fall back asleep and i'm totally fine. I have no symptoms during the day. I have none at night nor have no symptoms when I lay down to go to bed I fall asleep just fine.
4536442 tn?1358820448 Yeah I get heartburn and its a different feeling unusually get heartburn in the evenings it just feels like I've pulled a muscle since years ago I strained the right side of my chest, thanks for your comment though :) :)
Avatar f tn I never had it before, so the first time I had it, literally felt like a knife in my chest for hours. I thought I was having like a heart attack.
Avatar f tn heart attacks in women present different to men. Butyou can experience pain in left arm, feels like a truck on your chest as well. Also excessive sweats. Try to get rid of heart burn first and if it continues then go to ER.. not L&D.
Avatar f tn I am 7 weeks pregnant with my first child and I have this uneasy feeling in my chest. Right at my breastbone. It's like a tightness. I looked it up and I guess it might be heartburn? But I have it all the time. Anyone else have that feeling?
Avatar f tn since saturday (today mon) first day was severe heartburn with nausea and elephant on chest feeling. Sun started having pains at bottom of sternum at top of stomach. Today had pains at bottom of sternum, with high blood pressure newest reading being 163/116 81 heart rate and pressure like elephant on chest. Along with finding a lump at bottom of sternum right in the middle with little bit of pain and the lump doesn't move. No heartburn today though.
4842016 tn?1372039067 Yea. Its usually in my chest, stomach, lower and upper back. Its horrible. I've taken tums so much that they've quit working. And I was like you, even had it bad before I got pregnant. And it gets so bad that I can't even sit down comfortably.
5110781 tn?1378361950 Your stomach is pushed up and out of its normal position, and the acids in it can burn. It is not like any heartburn you ever experienced when not pregnant -- it aches.
Avatar f tn D and mine were soooooooo extremely bad !
Avatar f tn Is it normla to feel pain in my throat/chest. Now its nit acid reflux i know what taht feels like. It hurts to swallow even water.
Avatar f tn Before i knew i was pregnany i went to a cardiologist because of the burning sensation in my chest, i had 2 ecg readings with a month interval and she diagnosed me with either a blocked artery vs. GERD.. Im only 29 so my chances of a cardiac prob was low,but still had to be ruled out.. Im a coffee addict, 5-6 cups a day, so that predisposes me to Acid reflux. I didnt know i was prego that time, so i told her i wasnt, when she asked me about it.
7998970 tn?1435183202 I've only had it like two days in my whole life.. Both during pregnancy. For me it felt acidic and kind of a burning sensation in my throat. If it's in your chest it should be like up by your collar bone, in the deep part of your throat. I think anyway.
2089807 tn?1348062748 Im also having severe heartburn and my son is going crazy in my ribs. Has anyone else experienced this? I would have went to the hospital earlier for it but I dont have.a car and its 2a.m. Here.
9392891 tn?1412532149 I have in the past before becoming pregnant and they said it was heartburn, but I used to get it really bad quite often about 2 years ago. Right now it's really bad but I don't want to go the ER if they're gonna tell me to take antacids.
Avatar f tn Can someone please just sum up what having heartburn feels like, I know it's common in pregnant women so I knew it would come I just never knew how it would feel, I want to make sure this is really heartburn that I'm feeling and not anything serious bc this feeling truly *****, its feels like my throat and chest are just collapsing (that's a bit dramatic) but it really is an uneasy feeling, my throat is very irritated, my whole inside just feels really gasy...
Avatar n tn Then I took a nexium 40mg and that didnt work. I have pains pretty bad in chest an back, it even hurts to breath sometimes, it's been like this for 19hrs. What do I do?
11282441 tn?1440551476 Having the worst chest pain ever!! It came out of nowhere and is making it hard to breathe. From what I've read sounds like it may heartburn, no meds avail anyone have any home remedies I can try?
9062499 tn?1426957962 Does it b hard to swallow food if its heartburn. I have a pain in my thraot going down to my chest.
Avatar f tn ive had chest pain the past couple of weeks and it's getting worse. I do have asthma, but not bad. And that's not the type of pain in my chest. And the pain gets worse if I bend over the pick up something or lift thing. Also if I take a deep breath.
Avatar f tn For the last year I have had these sharp stabbing pains in my left breast. I thought it might be heartburn so I took over the counter heartburn meds. plus I started eating healthy and excising. I have stopped eating before bed and stopped eat food that might trigger the episodes. The pains have not stopped but they haven't gotten worse either. I don't have any other symptoms other then the sharp stabbing for a few seconds. What could be the cause of my pain?
Avatar n tn a couple times after going to bed I have awoke to severe pain in my chest. I was even considering a trip to the ER to rule out my heart but after taking tums and walking the floor for about an hour, it subsided and was able to return to sleep. I have noticed that after eating a large meal, sometimes the pain is worse. my question is... could this be my gallbladder?
