Allergy to fatty foods?

by ren256, Oct 11, 2009 03:40AM
Hello,

Lately [for the past 3 months or so] I have been experiencing a bit of chest discomfort.  It seems to have begun when I developed brochitis, but it still lingers when I eat fatty foods.  I am a 23 year old female and I am a healthy weight for my size; Im 6 feet tall and 155lbs;I also usually eat healthfully. The chest discomfort I experience is not overly painful but it is there, its accompanied by a little bit of chest tightness mainly on the left side and sometimes accompanied by a faster heart rate.  As I mentioned before it is usually on-set by fattier foods.  Is it possible that this could be an allergy?
ps. I do also drink coffee which may contribute to the problem but it only seems to affect me with the addition to fatty foods.

Your help is appreciated.
Renata

Does not sound like an allergy. For bronchitis very large doses of vitamin B5 (500 mg. or more) help. It moistens the lungs and thins mucus and allows you to cough it up. There are no side effects.
