What Causes Chest Pain And Burning Sensation Upon Breathing?

Hi, I’ve been experiencing pain i my chest for a couple of days now I went to the er, and they did a chest X-ray and said everything looks fine, but it burns to breathe I have somewhat of a sore throat, my chest feels like I pulled or strained something, but I’ve been laying with a heating pad on my chest, drinking lots of water and getting rest, also I’ve been experiencing pain in the back of my neck, my upper back and aching pain in my arms. I feel scared to get up and do things I normally do, because I’m afraid it will make my pain worse. It’s really starting to worry me. my throat is also red and tonsils are inflamed looking, and I just recently quit smoking a few days ago, but I don’t know what could be wrong, and I don’t have a fever. Please help

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I feel you have gastritis or acid peptic disease. You need to follow some lifestyle tips.

1. Do not eat spicy food.
2. Take medicines for gastritis- pantop/omez/rantac.
3. Take little food at frequent intervals. Breakfast around 8 a.m., small snack at 11 a.m., lunch at 1 p.m., small snack at 4 p.m. and dinner at 8 p.m.
4. Drink plenty of water.
5. Do not smoke, take alcohol or tobacco and even excess of coffee and tea.
6. Do not take much of stress. Stress aggravates gastritis.
7. Do regular exercise. Atleast half an hour per day.
8. Learn meditation techniques.

Follow this regularly for 21 days. It is said that anything you practice regularly for 21 days, it becomes a habit.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sanjay Kini
