Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
I am 17 years old and I usually suffer from chest pain, and burping after eating something or drinking. I do not know what is this, sometimes shortness of breath occurs for a short period of time. I am a little worried about this. When I searched this on google there were things like GERD, acid reflux, heart attack, and all. Can you please help me out with this problem?
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I see you are worried about your chest pain. Do not worry, your symptoms particularly relating to food connects your chest pain to a gastric related problem. And it fits into GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) in which there will be acid reflux, which in turn causes pain due to intolerance of food pipe to the acid.
