Chest/throat Tightness After Eating

[EIRE24]

After eating at times I experience a tightening of the chest and also throat. At times it feels like I am getting a heart attack and my throat feels like there is food stuck in it or that there is a lump in my throat.

I have tried raising stomach acid and this has not helped as I thought maybe it was gerd. I also get a migraine and very heavy pulse when this happens.

Has anyone experienced something similar or can give an explanation for what is happening?

Thanks,
Eire.

I get this too. I think it's related to low CO2/hyperventilation and excess lactic acid causing smooth muscle tension but I don't think Peat himself has ever talked about it.

Possibly could be this. I thought it was at first low stomach acid so tried things like ACV, HCL and the like and it never helped. I started eating some greek yogurt last week and I noticed that it totally eliminated the pain and problems but then I began to break out in acne all over my face and the cystic kind so I had to stop. It started again after I ate some potatoes. I seriously am struggling with it and have no clue what to do to fix it?

Use Gaviscon Advance

Yes. Exactly. Buteyko or bag breathing can help.

Use Gaviscon Advance

Seems like a fancy antacid. How is that curative?

It's very soothing and will help the acute problem. It can probably help with figuring out if it's a gastritis issue as well.

Ah...that makes sense...

What would you suggest or think it is @lisaferraro . I am going to try the gaviscon purely because I know that yogurt helped me out recently but it gave me terrible acne.

I have found this product mentioned on the Travis thread. I read the science about it and though a probiotic it isolates the stomach and has only one strain in it. It stopped my pain fast. But I used more than only one per day. I actually feel like I am healing now using NOTHING else besides my own homemade bone broth and occasional digestive enzyme. Here is the product:

BioGaia Gastrus – BioGaia

I bought on Amazon. Well researched and used by MIT in rat research.

Personally, I would try this before the product Such mentioned. Away from food you can have 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in 3-4 ounces of water. 2 hours after food one hour before food.

Edit: I high dosed in the beginning and then backed off. AND fair warning, not an inexpensive product.
