Cannot breathe when..

[Raiden]

Lately I've not been able to breathe for about 8 seconds or so when i chew on very sweet gum, ive only noticed it in sweet gum so far im not sure about other sweets.  Im sure this is nothing serious but can anyone explain why I can't breathe when i first start to chew on the sweet gum. Thanks!

When I was younger I actually went to my doctor with breathing problems and with talking to him and going through different things I was doing we finally discovered that I has allergic to the gum that I was chewing. He stated that some gums have certain perservatives that other don't. I quit chewing this kind of gum and my breathing problem was no more.  I believe the gum was Hubba Bubba.

i have been brping as well for the past year now, i noticed i had started to burp when i quit smoking marijuana, now i have been smoking, and i still burp. I know that is it air, but i dont know how much more i can take of this! i also get panis attacks when i am paranoid, or anxious, i am on paxil, but isnt so much of help. please comment on anything i could do!

Well, I've come to the conclusion that it has to be something with the digestive system. Since I posted, no smoking at all, and still getting the same pain as before after eating. Taking Axiphex now, and I dont feel any heartburn, but everytime I eat anything I am very gastric and have constant burping, and I have noticed I have random pinching type pains in my lower ribcage on left and right side (mostly on the right side though). The pain seems to be worst around 3-4 hours after I eat also. Any ideas on what this could be? And are those pinches I feel just gas and nothing to worry about? I visited the doctor again and I suggested that it may be a gall bladder problem, but he applied pressure and no notable pain, and said he dont think thats the problem, and tomorrow I have to make an appointment for a upper gi, but I feel really uncomfortable having no idea what is going on with myself, and I would like to have an idea of how long I have to live on soup for the lowest amount of pain each meal. Any info would be appreciated.
