hiI recently started having tightness around chest while eating food. Yesterday night I felt so full after my regular dinner and tightness in my chest . Let me know what is wrong. Does consuming hot food make this happen? I have thyroid and is the only medication I take. .25mg capsules.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, you are mostly having HERD (gastroesophageal 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 of Central chest pain, fullness, chest pressure etc. So better to follow these steps. 1. Avoid stress and tension. 2. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. 3. Start proton pump inhibitors and prokinetic Chat Doctor.  4. Go for walk after meals. 5. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. 6. Lose weight if you are obese. 7. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Don't worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
