What causes a strong chest pain mid-way through drinking?
Patient: I started feeling a strong chest pain mid-way through taking a drink. I had no trouble breathing during the pain it was a very griping pain. While this was happing I thought that I might be having a heart attack but considering my age I realiest it was highly unprobable. After a few seconds the pain stoped then  I was sure it was not an heart attack. What could this be? I am a type one diabetic with a vitamin D deficiency and slightly a rased cholesterol all of them are being treated. I hope that info helps at least somewhat.                Thanks, Doctor: Chest pain could be due to many reasons .No age is immune for heart attacks .Since you are a diabetic and also have elevated cholesterol you have risk factor for developing Coronary artery disease.another probable cause could be oesaphagitis which is inflammation of the food pipe  caused by your drinking.Please do an EKG and a stress testing and an echo to rule out any underlying heart disease .
