Hey everyone I wanted to share my story to see if any of you have the same problem. After taking some pre-workout supplement about 2 weeks ago I started having this heavy presence on my chest. Didnt really feel like a burning sensation like typical heartburn/reflux. So after a few days of Pepcid and rolaiRAB not helping and my anxiety kicking in thinking I was having a heart attack I went to the urgent care. They ran a bunch of tests on me

Blood Pressure- 128/77
Checked my breathing- no issue
EKG- perfect
Chest Xray- Negative

So the doc said I probably pulled something at the gym and it will go away.

Week later im still feeling this pressure. Now im noticing that its mainly when I sit down it feels like something is laying on my chest. When I burp or wiggle around it tenRAB to loosen up a bit. I saw my primary and he said its nothing I pulled at the gym because he would be able to recreate the pressure when i mimicked a movement that could of caused the feeling. He said its coming from behind the chest wall and wants me to get a Upper GI Series and Abdominal Ultrasound.

Anyone else ever experience this feeling?

Heavy pressure on chest

Some relief when burping

Sometimes shortness of breathe
 
SounRAB similiar to my story, I don't think its the supplements, although it wouldn't be a bad idea to stop taking them. I think your getting older and showing symtoms of acid reflux. Change your eating habits, keep your head upright, and start taking prevacid or one of the other proton pump inhibitors.
 
Thanks man. I really think anxiety is playing a big role. But I go for my GI series and ab ultrasound tomorrow so ill post to keep everyone up to date
