What Causes Pain In Stomach Radiating To Chest When I Am Hungry?

Whenever I am hungry, I get hunger pains that start off in my stomach and then ripple up into my chest, right between my breast. When the pain reaches my chest, it feels a little sharp and like it is squeezing. It almost feels like a spasm. This will go on every 5 minutes until I eat something. Why would hunger pains cause chest pains/spasms?

Hello
I appreciate your concern
Looking at your description It might be caused by any of these conditions
Acid peptic disease or acid reflux
Stomach ulcer or gastritis due to stomach hyperacidity

I would like further information to help you better like
Your age weight and relevant medical history like diabetes or thyroid disease or liver disease
Have you seen any doctor

In my opinion you should take anti acidity medicines like pantoprazole or omeprazole with antacids for 10 to 15 days
Avoid fatty fried spicy and junk food or carbonated drinks
Have small and frequent meals
Avoid smoking and alcohol

Hope this helps you
If it doesn't improve.than you should consult a gastroenterologist for an endoscopy and an ultrasound.
