A member asked:

When i get hungry it hurts my stomach and chest why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Reflux: I would guess that stomach acid is the source for your symptoms. Having a regular meal pattern may help, some bodies like more than three meals a day, but they would need to be smaller. Taking an acid reducer in the morning may help as well.
