What Causes Breathlessness And Heartburn Feeling In Chest?
I am wondering if I should go see my doctor. I have a weird feeling in my chest-right at the base of my neck where I imagine my esophagus ends. Its a lot like heartburn. But, in addition I feel a little like its difficult to breathe. I am not having trouble breathing-but it feels funny. Its hard to put into words really. I have taken antacids and those don t seem to help at all.
