What could cause chest pain while breathing in after eating?

Saturday, February 6th, 2010

I ate a very large meal about 45 minutes ago, and am just now experiencing some chest pain that occurs when I breathe in. Other than this chest pain, I don’t have any other apparent problems. I feel a little indigestion, but that’s it. The pain is sharp and localized in the center of my chest and occurs only when I inhale a certain amount of air. I checked my pulse and that was a little bit fast also, but that might have just been panic because of the weird pain I was feeling.What could cause this?
I must state that the large meal I ate wasn’t as healthy as usual, so it could be acid reflux, but I’m not sure if breathing has anything to do with that.
Also, the pain has stopped completely now. The episode lasted for around 10-15 minutes I think.

I did the same thing when I had a tooth extraction and hadn’t eaten anything solid for days – I had chest pains so bad I thought I was having a heart attack – turn out to be indigestion – with a full stomach pressing on the diaphragm – never did that again – I would start eating healthier food and smaller portion to avoid this happening again – but if this happens again it could be a hiatal hernia and would seek medical advice

Could right side chest pain that radiates be a warning sign that I’ve had a minor heart attack?

Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

I was recently diagnosed with blood clots and have been having TIAs or mini-strokes. The other day I had an unexplained pain in the right side of my chest radiating down my right arm and into my back. I got very sick to my stomach. This feeling past after about 15mins, but reoccured later that night. I found rest helped.

With your background I would suggest seeing your doctor.

from what I hear a person can have pains just about anywhere when suffering with a heart attack. But, it could be a pulled muscle, indigestion or a host of other things.

Is an unusual chest pain in the right side a symptom of a heart stroke?

Wednesday, October 21st, 2009

I am under medication "zimvastatin 10mg" due to high levels of cholesterol in my blood. Today I’m having an unusual pain in the right side of the chest. The pain comes on & off. Quite difficult when the pain comes. I did not tell anyone yet. I am in my office. Can anyone please tell me immediately why I have this? It will be of help if any doctor can see this query and answer me.
Thanks.

You should go see your doctor…

It could be ANYTHING, from heart attack, to indigestion..
