chest pain/heartburn?

[want_so_bad 0]

ok. this prolly sounds stupid, but i never really had heartburn before. what does it feel like?

right now i get this incredible pain in my chest that takes my breath away for a few seconds and then slowly subsides. i had some pain like this when i did the fluoroscope (sp wrong, i know, sorry). it really really really hurts. gas x doesnt seem to help. would tums or something like that help? i am not sure even what the pain is.

anyone else experiencing/ed this?

thanks!

Sounds like you are eating too much or too fast. I get that pain if I eat something I am not supposed to(sushi or bread) and most times I eat chicken or steak. It subsides when the stuck food passes, whether that is up or down. Chew better, eat slower, watch the sticky and hard to chew well stuff and don't drink after eating. Good Luck.

sorry. It does sound like heart burn then.

Could you be having spasms in your diaphram? Does it feel like a "stuck burp/hiccup"? That's a normal post-op pain. It DOES pass.

You can try chewing a couple of TUMS, but I'll bet you're just sore.

heartburn does just that, burns a bit. Even if your on all liquids you can still get heartburn. I get it from drinking orange juice and lemonaide or Tomato juice.

the description of pain sounds like something stuck. Maybe gulping liquids?

But if its happening when your not eating or when your laying down.

As swollen as you probably are it could just be that.

You might wanna call your doctor just to be safe. Its better to call them with *Might be something wrong* and let them advise you then to sit and suffer needlessly.
