I am 25, Female, 150lbs, 5'6", and healthy, with no chronic health problems. Tonight I took a large sip of ginger ale and I am not sure if it went down the wrong way or what but it immediately made me fall to my knees in extreme pain. Its been about 2 hours, I am not realy sure what happened but my chest still hurts. The pain was like an instant case of severe heartburn, like I said I fell to my knees and tears came to my eyes I was in so much pain. What on earth could have happened?
