What Causes Burning In The Chest And Breathlessness?
hi i have been feeling a burning sensation in the right side of upper chest along with excessive burping , almost for 3-4 hrs a day with breathlessness and chest congestion, but the breathlessness and the congestion in chest seems to go away as soon as gas is released through burping. do i have to worry about my heart?
Hello, The symptoms you describe sounds like it's due to gastroesophageal reflux disease , whereby there is reflux of stomach acid in the food pipe resulting in symptoms of burning chest pain , congestion , breathlessness. Life style modifications and taking omeprazole and domperidome combination once a day 15 mins before breakfast for 3 weeks may help . Regards Dr Priyank Mody
