Why does my chest hurt after drinking alochol, and it's sometimes hard to breath?

Reflux: You are likely suffering from significant acid reflux--alcohol will really make this worse. I see you are on advil/pepto-bismol. These two medications can irritate your stomach and should be discontinued if possible. Taking an omeprazole over the counter daily will be helpful to treat this. Avoid spicy foods and alcohol which can exacerbate your symptoms.
