Still got what feels like a pocket of air in the middle of my chest

[Dana]

I'm thinking I should see a doctor or something, I'm not about to become a hypochondriac and alka seltzer doesn't work. I feel like I want to burp and even when I do it doesn't alleviate it but for maybe a short time.

 

[End Of All]

Dude, you seriously need to cut back on your drinking, this is gonna end up killing you.

 

[porterjack]

his response

 

[End Of All]

Ah, well, there is a such thing as too much drinking.

indeed there is I know that from personal expereince, and i dont want to pre-empt Dana's reply BUT his symptoms may have nothing to do with booze, nothing in the OP suggests booze to me

I feel bad for making judgements before I know exactly whats going on, but, I do know that so much alcohol can cause things similar to these. I just hope that he gets to doctor and finds out whats going on.

I was told by a friend that she thought it was esophageal spasms... She said she gets them all the time. This is the first time I've ever experienced them.

 

[Dana]

Why should I be mad at End Of All Times or react like a dickhead? I'm fully aware I drank too much. I'm not a child who doesn't own up to their faults.

 

[End Of All]

Thank you Dana, and the fact that you are aware is a head start on some of my relatives.

the pocket of air
I would message that out and definitely go to the doctor
try thumping your chest right above your sternum with your soft side of your fist
repeatedly there may be some fluid or air in an organ that is stuck
I have had some feel of that nature before but it has never stayed I always do something
to make it pass

Don't be surprised if they want to do cardiac tests. You may have a blockage in your bowels creating the problem.

 

[Joe the meek]

Do a handstand against the wall and try to fart.

 

[dkwrtw]

I would suggest seeing a Dr. sir, better safe than sorry.

 

[Dana]

God I'm glad I'm not a hypochondriac...

I have no issues going number 2...

It could be your gallbladder. Do you have any problems with heartburn? Alcohol can most def. aggravate your gallbladder, if you already have issues with it.

does it hurt worse when you inhale or exhale deep?

With the invention of the internet and Google, there is no need to go see a doctor. Just diagnose it yourself and you'll be fine.
