I had open heart surgery in 2003, i have pain in my chest thats like a burning sensation, I cant even stang a sheet to rub across it. Can you tell me what this is fro,? mu name i
Last week, I got a really bad case of heartburn. Once again, thought I was having a heart attack. I took some Maalox and felt alot better. I have had the same problem with being gassy and I have to assume it puts pressure on the chest which can cause alot of discomfort.
I experienced the same type of pain and symptoms in the past- it gradually got worse and they finally figured out that it was my gallbladder. The pains were passing stones. They took it out- no more gallbladder no more symptoms. Maybe try that route...
Indigestion, gas, etc can easily cause chest discomfort. Many people say at it's worse it can feel like a heart episode. I sometimes have upper arm and chest tightness and after burping it will feel much better. If it persists they can check for a hiatal hernia. Stomach extends into chest.
