Suggest Treatment For Burping And Chest Discomfort
Last Tuesday I started getting gas in right chest (close to midline). I'd burp and get relief but a little later I'd get it again. Sometimes accompanied by regurdgitation. Two days later I developed cough and chest was sore in same location. I went to ER and they did chest xray and ekg-both normal. Doctor prescribed 20mg prilosec which I started Sunday. Burping i s less frequent but stiil occurs almost as much but the weird thing is the top of my ab is quivery. my voice is strained and I get shortness of breath. Yes, i've been under stress past couple weeks but I don't feel right. any ideas.
