Does Eating Fish Cause Chest Pain?

I was eating fish and a few minutes later I had chest pain nearly similar to heartburn. There were plenty of bones in the fish so I may have swallowed one. Now the top of my stomach feels weird and I m worried I might throw up (i don t throw up often) what could be the issue?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you are wondering if eating fish cause chest pain . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due sea food allergy .

The best way to avoid the symptoms to prevent the intake of particular food that is causing a reaction.

You can also consult an Allergist and get evaluated and he can advise you allergic tests like Food challenge test, RAST test etc to rule out the exact cause of allergic reaction.

In case if you get an allergic attack you can take anti-allergics like Allegra or benadryl as well as Domperidone .

Doctor may also refer you to cardiologist for condition like angina or chest specialist fir chest infection .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.
