jennbrenna 1 Posted July 15, 2013 When I run I sometimes get heartburn. It is to the point where I want to stop. I can still drink Water and eat after my run but I'm wondering if anybody else experiences this with the lap band? It is only happened about two or three times and I did eat something spicy today. Other than this, I don't ever have heartburn unless I eat something spicy or too much. I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow to see if I need An unfill, but I feel like I am in my green zone. TIA!

B-52 7,113 Posted July 15, 2013 Are you sure it is heartburn? Or is it pulmonary...a burning feeling in your lungs.... There is a common phenomena called "Exercise Induced Asthma" which happens to a lot of people who run, or do a aerobic activity... Does not mean you have Asthma... I told my Dr., he's a runner and said he has it, as does a lot of his friends.... As far as heartburn...running or not I can no longer eat spicy foods....even something like Orange juice without following with Water can trigger bad responses....
