What Causes Frequent Feeling Of Air Bubble In Chest?

I have recently been having feelings of an air bubble in my chest. It ranges from annoying to quite painful. It occurs throughout the day and I can t quite determine its trigger. Is this most likely acid reflux and I should just try OTC medication or could this be something more serious?

Hi

I have gone through your query, i will try to give you suggestion which will be helpful to you. 

Its difficult to diagnose without examining based on your symptoms I think it could be crepitations which occurs secondary to fracture rib or acute gastritis. Take a course of antacids if the symptoms doesn't subside then get chest xray done to rule out any rib fracture.


I hope this suggestion might be of some help to you. I will be glad to help you in case if you have any further queries.

Wish you speedy recovery. Take care.
