My doctor tells me that my crushing/bloated feeling in my left chest area is from heart burn. He said this after I had been to see him and the emergency room thinking I was having a heart attack. He prescribed me some medication but I haven't taken it yet because I fear an allergic reaction and/or it won't work. Anyway, after reading about heart burn and gerd I found that I don't really have all the symptoms. Sure I get heart burn now and then, but it's supposed to be bad when I lie down. I don't have any issue when I lie down. My symptoms are a crushing and/or bloated feeling in my chest (left predominately, rarely the right), occasional heart burn, a soft foul smelling stool, trouble breathing (as in my lungs hurt) and troubling swallowing sometimes.
About 10 years ago I got a barium and other tests and the doctor couldn't find anything. Is it possible to have gerd and not have constant heart burn? Can you have heart burn without the burning feeling but have the other symptoms?
Thanks!
