What Causes Burning Sensation In The Upper Chest And Arms?
I m had about 6 episodes for the last three days that last about 10 minutes each where I get a expanding burning sensation in the upper chest that spreads outward towards the arm pits then to my upper arms. I know it s not heartburn and I do have stents. I have problems breathing during those 10 minutes like my bronchial tubes are being affected

Hello,
Gastrointestinal problems can also cause chest pain and include: Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). This may cause a sour taste in the mouth and a burning sensation in the chest or throat, known as heartburn. Factors that may trigger acid reflux include obesity, smoking, pregnancy, and spicy or fatty foods.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Esmeralda Sera, Oncologist
