Does this sound like a heart, lung, or digestive problem to you?
Last month I felt a burning in my chest and slight wheezing. My Doctor of Osteopathic medicine did a breathing treatment and asthma breath test. He saw one number go up after the breathing treating. He says it sounded (when he listened with a stethoscope) like I was not getting enough air in my lungs. He gave me Ventolin HFA, Singulair and an antiobitoic. After 10 days on the antibiotic the symptons subsided (the burning in the chest). But, now it has returned. I have only used the Ventolin inhaler once as it makes me feel like I will have a heart attack. I am having a funny feeling in my chest in the center and it feels prickly and/or iiritated kind of like heartburn but more raw. It is annoying more than painful but if I take a really deep breath I feel some pain there and underneath the breasts. I also have to burp constantly and it seems to have a chemical taste to it. My throat feels awkward afterwards too. Do you think this is my asthma or my GERD acting up or a more serious issue?

You may have developed an Allergy to Salbutamol Inhalers (brand: Ventolin Inhaler). At this point, it is better for you to go to an allergist.
Good Health To You!
Everyone who is suffering from the "something stuck in the throat feeling" and burp feeling and relieved when done need to consider that you are probably being given measures for "high stomach acidity" which has the same symptons as "low stomach acidity" and in the past physicians had to take alot of time to verify that diagnosis and therefore very rarely consider it….
In our day and age we all use antacids which lower the acid in our stomachs more and with age it is naturally lower…..I found this out on the internet searching for the Low acid stomach and then confirmed with a specialist who suggested a product which i can not name on here so call your local health food store or pharmacy and ask for the remedy they use for LOW ACID Stomachs and see if it helps you.Take care of yourself always!
