Does Chest Pain While Eating Junk Food Indicates Diabetes?

I've been eating really unhealthy lately. Horribly unhealthy. I'm not overweight at all, I'm still average weight, but for the last 6 months I've eaten nothing but junk food. I've been getting really bad chest pains every time I eat, and now they're coming even when I'm not eating. Can this be a sign of diabetes?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

The chest pain may be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. This can cause burning chest pain.
Other symptoms would be bloating, nausea, excess salivation, acid taste in the mouth, cough.

It is worsened by the use of fried/fatty/acidic/spicy foods.
You can try reducing these foods to see if your discomfort improves.

Other aspects of treatment are: using small meals, waiting at least 2 hours after eating before laying down

Medication is also available.

This is not a known sign of diabetes.

I hope this helps
