Hey all,

I've been having some strange problems, some are recent and some are long term.

the more recent symptoms include:

-pressure in chest (like having a bowling ball on your chest).
-shortness of breath (slight chest pain when deeply inhaling).

the long term symptoms are:

-always bloated (no matter what I eat)
-constant burping and gas

I've been to the doctor and had a chest xray and thalium stress test, both came back normal so I know it's not cardiac related. he has me on medication for reflux but it hasn't helped the pressure in my chest or the constant gas or bloating. I keep hearing that the above can be signs of gallbladder issues. anybody have any ideas???

Needto loose,

This appears like suboptimal functioning of the liver. You may like to try a few doses of Lycopodium 30c. Lycopodium 30c is a herbal homeopathic remedy which has been used for such constant formation of gas and abdominal bloating. It might help/

I too am experiencing the exact same thing you are and that is why I'm on this board! Let me know if you find out anything for sure and I'll do the same! I was thinking my problem may be a perforated ulcer because I had one years ago and had a lot of bloating and gas. I know it's not my gallbladder because I've had that removed. By the way, when I previously had my perforated ulcer, I was not experiencing in upper adominal burning, just bloating and gas.

Your symptoms sorta sound like a hiatal hernia except for the shortness of breath and it sounds like asthma??

An obstruction in your esophagus could cause the breath problem.
And burping and bloating could be a result of gastritis?

hi, ive had similar symptoms to you, chest pain and constant burping, doctors did chest xrays and they came back normal, he then did bloods and turned out that i have h pylori and now im taking a course of combination therapy, still waiting for it to stop the pain
