Hi all looking for some advice. I must preface this and say I have had no medical investigations as yet but I have suddenly developed a tight chest and laboured breathing only after eating. I have heartburn from time to time but usually when I have over indulged (e.g. over Xmas) and only at night time. I've had bloods taken and oxygen levels and blood pressure normal. I was wondering if anyone can give insight in to the type of symptoms you have had? With covid I am struggling to get a doc to investigate this further as they seem to think the chest tightness after eating is anxiety but I really don't think it is. Has anyone only experienced a tight chest as one of their only symptoms? Any guidance would be much appreciated!
