Suggest Treatment For Asthma

Feels like I was having an asthma attack or bronchitis at first or something. Chest hurt, got tight, it felt like my stomach of airway was hurting as well. The pain in my left side chest (nearer to the armpit than to the ceenter) was and is hurting but not as bad now. My belly looked like it gained about 10 pounds then and there from bloatedness. It hurt most when I sat forward, standing wasn't too bad. I farted and burped a lot and it seemed to temporarily aid the pain, but once the gas ran out it's like my chest start filling like a balloon. My instinct was to puke and so I did. The pain is still lingering and it still hurts to hunched over and my left side feels all weird. What's going on?

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Bloating can be associated with significant pain in some persons.

It may be due to : GERD, lactose intolerance, food intolerance, use of foods associated with increased gas production (beans, turnips, broccoli, cabbage etc).

The use of medication such as pepcid, nexium, prevacid or prilosec would help to relieve the pain.

You may want to monitor which foods cause the problem.

I hope this helps
