Why is there constant pain when I eat and drink



Recommended Posts

My surgery was 2 weeks ago. When I eat or drink too much I feel pain in the middle of my chest - almost as if the food is staying in my esophagus. So I'm thinking that's my sign that I'm full.

This happen to me in the first week. Believe it aren't the nurse had forgot to give me script for Zantac. I'm three months out and just been put back on Zantac. Everything I eat I have pain in chest. Doing much better now.

I'm only three days post op and had hernia repair as well. I did fine the first day and was doing super the second day when all of a sudden that pressure was in my chest every time I had a sip. The nurse seemed to recognize right away what the issue was and gave me a med for esophageal spasms. I wasn't sure how she got spasms from me saying I felt like there was a ball in my chest, a tightness like the liquid was stopping tight there, but within minutes of taking it, I felt better.
