I have been having a strange issue. A few months ago I started feeling like something was stuck in my upper chest almost esophagus area but only on the right side. I was recently sick with a chest cold and fluid in the ears and took two rounds of zpak. Now all of a sudden I have this feeling all day. I have also recently changed my diet and lost 12lbs. I am a severe asthmatic. Anyways so its a feeling like a burning, from my throat to my upper inside chest only on the right side. sometimes it goes into my right sinus and ear. I feel stuufy on the right side. It sometimes fets so bad that it hurts to take a deep breath or sometimes I feel it when I swallow or sometimes if I turn to the right like in the car. But then if I start running around with the kids or exersizing it gets better not perfect but better. weird, i am wondering could it be a hernia. I have had heartburn slightly latley but I am thinking its because of the diet change. And my allergist did some blood tests that showed that I has the antibody for h pylori. Any ideas please thanks in advance.
