What causes pain while taking breath?
Patient: Good evening,I drank last night about 3-4 liters of coke, barely ate anything today, but now i got extreme pain when i breath deeper. I looked it up on the internet and i saw trapped gas. I tried the big burp but it didn't work at all. I have a family history of heart problems. What can it be. Doctor: Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.I can understand your concern. Aerated soft drinks like Coke can cause acute gastritis. And this in turn cause bloating of stomach and burning chest pain. So better to take pantoprazole (antacid) twice a day on empty stomach.Avoid coke or other aerated softdrinks in future. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 2-3 days. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
