The past three weeks I've been having some type of attacks. I feel really really full after eating a normal amount of food which makes me feel nauseous but I don't throw up, I feel chest tightness / feeling like I'm not able to draw a full breath, bloated, and because I panic when I throw up I have anxiety attcks which causes my heart to beat fast but it all has to do with the other sypmtoms. I went to the hospital and they did an ecg, ekg, and an ultra sound on my heart but like I said I know its nothing in my heart. This has happened 5 times and it feels horrible to me. Finally it starts going away when I start to burp. I feel like I want to do those huge manly burps but when it starts I can't burp at all. Then after about 30-40 mins I slowly start to burp little burps which little by little I feel better. What can this be?
Hello, Guest. I have read your post, and I agree with you with the fact that it isn't your heart. I think your reaction to the chest tightening and bloat you feel is causing an anxiety attack. I think you may have an obstruction or a hiatal hernia. The symptoms of one can be heartburn, fatigue, difficult swallowing, and belching. You should see about getting an endoscopy with a gastroenterologist and see if that is the case. Or see if you have a tumor or growth. I see you didn't mention acid reflux, but I have to ask, do you have it? That would be something important to mention to the doctor. Has anyone else had these symptoms? What did the doctor say it was?
