Coffee chest tightne: Could be gastritis, try ranitidine/ previcid, check for H pylori a bacteria associated w/ gastritis. Have you noticed the same response w/ coffee yogurt or coffee ice cream?Coffee at other times of day? Noticed tightening w/other foods (coke, tea, orange juice in AM)? Less likely allergy if occur with OJ . F/U w/ allergist but should avoid coffee till then if allergy concern. f/u w/doc
