When i burp or get ready to burp i get a tight feeling in the middle of my chest and on the oposite side where my heart is. Whats the cause?
My chest has gradually gotten more and more tight and sore through out the day. I have pain that spreads up my neck and down my back when I breathe that is similar to the chest pain. Im also having pain when swallowing and burping. ?
For around 4 days, but my left chest, left foot, and left arm have been weak or tight or numb, and sometimes I get lightheaded, and I find myself burping 3-4 times when drinking anything like water. My average heart beat is 110 bpm and it beats hard.
