I get this pain on the upper left side of my chest, right around my breast. It's pressure-like, congestion, squeezeness, tightness.
I notice that when I burp, the pain seems to go away, but a sec. later I'll continue to burp and I can go on burping all day to rid excess gas. I do believe it is GERD, an inflammation to my esophagus, being too narrow, etc.
I can breathe fine, no dizzyness, and i can stretch and bend over. When I touch the area sometimes as I am having the pain, my heart begins to beat faster, but that's prob. because I think I may be having a heart attack and I panic.
Sometimes I must even snap my arm to alleviate the pressure which radiates to my arm and shoulder. Anyone out there with similar pain? Knowledge? References?
I'd really appreaciate it.
Doctors have done the heart scan, EKG, and they say it's normal.
I do eat very fast and I am getting better at it.
I do eat greasy foods.
I do skip meals.
