Having Chest Pain, Choking, Breathing Problem During Hot Shower. Problem With Lungs?
Hi my name is Gina.Ive had chest pains for over a year now.My Dr. had me do a stress test...Negative.Since then my lungs seem now to be the problem.Everytime I eat fluid wants to come up frm lungs until I practically choke.Is there an infection of the lungs that could be lasting this long.When Im in a hot shower I get the feeling Im suffocating...cant get a breath.

Choking after eating & central chest pain is a sign of lower eating pipe inflammation. However since you feel suffocating also, chances of asthma are high, and eating pipe inflammation is very common in asthma. Have a spirometry test done to rule out asthma.
