The pain is center right and around my lung area. I can’t breathe in fully and it hurts to eat or swallow. It’s been occurring for the past few days and people have just been telling me I’m reviving from it, but the pain is really sharp and I’m getting worried. It also causes some weird burping and it feels like there is air in my chest.

    Did you go to hospital with the attack?

    You may need to see your doctor to check there’s nothing else going on.

    Could be acid reflux.  You definitely should go to the dr.  I have asthma and had Gastroesophageal reflux disease when I was younger.  Like our page, if you have time caacharity  We post information regarding asthma and allergies.

    Sounds like GERD, which can be very painful and frightening. Many people suffering bouts of GERD, acid reflux or severe indigestion think they are having heart attacks. GERD can also be related to asthma. If your pulmonologist or pcp have not diagnosed the problem, it might be time to see a gastroenterologist. Good luck.
