Chest pain breathing: this can be anything from a pulled muscle to a blood clot in the lung, pneumonia, or even a collapsed lung. If this persists more than a day or worsens or is accompanied by other symptoms then you should get checked out by a physician.

I have been having not stop indigestion and heart burn for 3days, it gets a better for a little while if I eat. Chest and throat feel raw. Not short of breath but feels hard to take in air sometimes. Is this just GERD? Pepcid AC & Tums not working
