is this GERD?

every few months, i get a pain right in the middle of my chest/back. i'm sure its heartburn. its always after i've had something to eat. it used to happen when i had Wine, then ate meat. I have given up Wine. Now it happens sometimes with chinese food.

It lasts for about 10-30 minutes, and once it goes away, i'm 100% fine. its weird, but very painful.

thanks.

Re: is this GERD?

You may have esophagel spasms, they feel like a heart attack! Those spasms usually happen only after eating a meal so you may want to look into that! GERD is along with it.

Re: is this GERD?

It sounds like two allergies (I have them both so I know.) You are sensitive to sulfites (in the wine) and excess levels of MSG (from the Chinese food.) Stick with Szechuan (ratherthan Mandarin, or worse, take out)...less MSG.

That Chinese Restaurant SYndrome can REALLY feel just like a heart attack...but after the first 50 times, it becomes second nature (my "take-out heart attack")

BEWARE DRIED APRICOTS...they are MURDER on the sulfite sensitive.
