My husband has a funny feeling in the mid chest region. He states it is hard to explain. He gets a funny rush feeling that comes while at rest in the mid chest region. It does happen with activity. Please help. I will be scheduling him a doctors appointment. He states it has beefing going on for 1 year now every day, but this morning it has happened twice.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. Funny feeling in the center of the chest can be due to HERD (Castro Esophageal Reflux Disease). It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. Try to follow these steps for better symptomatic relief. 1. Avoid hot and spicy food. 2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. 3. Avoid stress and anxiety. 4. Start proton pump inhibitor. 5. Go for walk after meals. 6. Keep 2 - 3 pillows under head in the bed. 7. Avoid smoking and alcohol if he has this habit. 8. Lose weight if he is obese.
