Tightness in Chest - Digestive Disorders Message Board

Hamilton92 · 05-08-2007, 11:40 AM

This started about 2 days ago for me among my many other digestive problems. Bloating whenever I eat or drink anything, even the smallest sip of water sometimes bloats me up like a balloon.
I have a constant burning, gnawing raw feeling in my stomach.
Now over the last couple of days in my upper chest it feels tight and it feels like liquids are straining to go down and I get a slight ache when I eat or drink anything in my upper chest.
What is this? It is very scary. Is it my esophagus tightening up or what?
Please help!

Hamilton - Maybe you should go into the ER if you feel like your chest is tight and you are having a hard time swallowing....
My chest was tight and ached for 6 months with belching and bloating. I was diagnosed with H-pylori and gastritis at the time. About 3 months after the antibiotics for the bacteria the chest pain has subsided but the Gastritis has gotten worse.

Please take any chest pain seriously and get all tests done!!!!
