Rewind to April, i remember eating some really spicy Korean food and the next morning waking up in agonising chest pain everytime i exhaled. The pain was so bad the doctor actually thought i might have a clot in my lung and was kept in for extensive tests.
Turned out to be severe gastritis and reflux from all the spice going into my gullet instead - weirdest thing ever - how does exhaling affect your stomach/esophagus?
Anyway i experienced it a second time after consuming too much chilli again - didn't worry me and i took my tummy meds.
Now a week ago i remember having Chinese food which isn't great for the insides - i started getting severe pain as soon as i lie down and exhale - and now it hurts to inhale!
The pain is even worse this time and despite taking my meds religiously it's still here.
I am scared it is actually my heart now not my stomach because it hurts to breathe and lying down hurts a lot.
Have you ever eaten something that aggravated your gerd and how long til the pain went away?
I was wondering if anyone else has woken up with stabbing chest pain that feels like it's throbbing and feels better when upright - was it gerd and can gerd cause breathing pain? Thank you.
