A member asked:

What would cause some light chest discomfort not pain sometimes upon exertion that lasts about 10 seconds until a burb resolves it.also if eating too fast feels like pressure builds up again but this time it takes longer to burb to release pressure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

I have a low threshold for ordering treadmill stress tests. Your symptoms may be from indigestion, but I've had several cases where such symptoms turned out to be from coronary artery blockages, especially when exertion precipitated the urge to burp. For peace of mind see your physician and ask to be scheduled for a maximal treadmill stress test. I think this makes sense also in view of your age.
