I'm having a bit of trouble with my breathing every evening; it feels like some sort of shortness of breath. I suspect it might be linked to acid reflux because when I manage to get rid of some gas, my breathing seems to return to normal. The feeling's pretty uncomfortable when the gas is there, and I'm starting to worry if there might be a lung issue going on. Could this be something related to my lungs, or is it really just about the reflux? Any guidance would be really appreciated.

I'm 32 years old and have been experiencing chest pain when I get angry or cry for the last six months. I checked with ECG and ECHO TMT, and everything came out normal. No palpitations or shortness of breath, but I do have a lot of belching and epigastric pain. Im taking two pantocid tablets now. It's scary because it feels like I might be having a heart attack. My gut says something isn't right, and it's really worrying me. Since the pain started, I've become quieter. Any idea what could be going on?

It sounds like you may be experiencing symptoms of acid reflux, which can often mimic heart-related issues. The chest pain triggered by emotions, along with belching and epigastric pain, are common symptoms of acid reflux. Since your ECG, ECHO, and TMT results are normal, it is less likely to be related to your heart. To help with your symptoms, continue taking Pantocid as prescribed. Additionally, you can try taking an antacid like Rantac (150mg) when you experience epigastric pain. Avoid spicy and acidic foods, eat smaller meals, and try not to eat close to bedtime. It may also be helpful to elevate the head of your bed while sleeping. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be advisable to follow up with your doctor for further evaluation and possible referral to a gastroenterologist.
