Chest Pain When Swallowing/sitting Bending Posted: 05-06-05 06:39am
Yesterday morning I woke up and I may have
been laying poorly on the bed but unless I
sat up perfectly straight my chest would
hurt pretty badly. Whenever I would
eat/drink something, my chest felt like it
was trying to swallow something really
large. That has carried over into today;
not with the same severity(though it was
never crippling or anything) but im 17
years old and ive had pains relative to
these recently. Once my back felt like it
had been hit with a pole for a while. Im
just wondering is my bed doing this or
could the throat thing be different. I
dont know. Would anybody give me
guidance. Oh and whenever I burp from
like a soda or something it hurts a
tremendous amount more than other times.

I think you might have barrett's
esophagus. I myself was diagnosed with
that. I suggest you have your doctor
give you an endoscopy that's how you will
know for sure what you have. I have pain
and I sometimes have a hard time
swallowing and I purp a lot when I eat or
drink something and I get really tight
knot feelings in my chest. I was
perscribed prilosec for my acid reflux.
You can buy it over the counter you don't
need a perscription. My father also had
that disease but he had ulcers on his
esophagus. He would really get bad pains
and sometimes we thought he was having a
heart attack. In december of 2003 my
precious father did have a real heart
attack and passed away. We thought at
the time it was his esophogus but we were
wrong that time. So please have yourself
checked immediatley you are to young to be
going through this. I hope everything
works out for the best for you good luck!
