Also gastritis could be worsened by smoking cigarettes. Kindly try to cut down the number of cigarettes or if having trouble in managing craving, kindly consult Psychiatrist for management.

Breathing difficulty with left chest pain that worsens after eating and while lying down could be related to gastric reflux, lung issues, or even heart-related causes. Since it comes and goes, it still requires careful evaluation to rule out serious conditions. Please consult a physician or cardiologist for proper evaluation and treatment.

Abhishek, your chest pain and breathing difficulty are not normal for your age and should not be ignored. The pattern (worse after meals, at night, and requiring deep breaths) strongly suggests acid reflux/GERD, but because chest pain and breathlessness can also signal heart or lung conditions, you must undergo ECG, chest X-ray, and basic tests to rule out serious causes.

Please visit a nearby physician.

Hello Abhishek. The symptoms you are experiencing could be due to excessive gastric reflux. Kindly avoid consuming certain food items like chocolate, wine, alcohol and spicy foods which will aggravate gastritis by either relaxing gastro-esophageal sphincter or by stimulating excessive gastric acid secretion. Also, gastritis is frequently seen in stressed people and people with anxiety disorders. If that’s the case, kindly consult psychiatrist for management. If it’s just gastritis, you can use Tab Pantoprazole 40mg for a week and needs to be taken atleast 30 minutes before breakfast in the morning. Regards.

Difficulty breathing accompanied by left-sided chest pain that comes and goes, and worsens after eating, could potentially be pointing towards a few different medical conditions. Given the intermittent nature of your symptoms, it might be associated with conditions like gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), costochondritis, or potentially cardiac conditions, though a direct link to the heart is less likely if it is pain primarily after eating and relieved in certain positions. Eating-related chest discomfort can be caused by acid reflux, where stomach acids irritate the esophagus lining, leading to chest pain and discomfort upon breathing or lying down.

You should consider adjusting your diet to minimize spicy, fatty, or acidic foods and avoid eating large meals, especially close to bedtime. Try to remain upright for a while after eating to help mitigate reflux symptoms. However, given your symptoms affect your breathing and involve chest pain, it’s really essential to rule out any cardiac conditions. The intermittent nature of your symptoms doesn’t exclude the possibility of angina, where chest pain occurs due to reduced blood flow to the heart.

An evaluation by a healthcare professional is very necessary to rule out potentially serious issues like cardiac causes. They may recommend an electrocardiogram (ECG) or stress tests, depending on your overall health, age, and risk factors. If there’s any feeling like tightness, pain radiating to the arms, jaw, or back, or if the breathing difficulty worsens, you should seek emergency medical attention immediately. Continuous monitoring and further diagnostics might be required to identify the underlying cause accurately.
