Tightening In Chest, Feeling Full In Upper Part Of Chest. Having Gastritis, Had Esophagus Opened. Cause?
I am experiencing a tightening in the chest and feel full in the upper part of my chest. I had a scope done about 2 weeks ago which showed gastritis and also had my esophagus opened. My food was stopping in my chest but since this procedure, food is going down better, swallowing is better but I still feel a slight pain on the left side lower part of my heart. What could that be?

Hi, it is the gastro intestinal reflux disease, it may be secondary to the gastritis, or peptic ulcer. Your problem in swallowing is released by the medicines you are using after the test.
You continue taking the medicines, and regularly go to the doctor for check up. So that he may guide you till you are completely cured.
Avoid taking spices, junk foods, and oily foods. Thank you.
