Have Tightness Around Rib Cage And Back, Chest Gurgling, Urge To Burp

was told I needed a triple by pass, but I did an alternative treatment to cleanse my ateries and my whole body of calcium and minerals.this was 2 years ago Just spent 28 days with shingles, and theres only a teeny bit left, but I caught a cold, which turned to the flu. now I feel like I did when I first started shingles, where im tight all around my rib cage and back with pain, and I seem to need to burp, and if I dont, it hurts.....sometimes my chest gurgles, right where the burping would hurt... so Im thinking its digestion.. a nurse on a help line said its not normal, but where have I heard that before, and Id do the same treatment anyway..so im not going to emergency. The only thing is I want to be certain, Im not nauseated, not vomiting, have loose bowels, but I have the flu....no chest (burning) pain like I had that got me needing bypass surgery no shortness of breath Im just very achey in my chest like a chest cold, I feel like crap, got painful burping, and when I take a deep breath, my chest hurts...this developed this moring, right before I got diagnosed with the flu...he checked my lower body, and listened to everything.... Im known to develope mysterious inflammations which Im beginning to believe its fibromyalgia now... this chest pain burping started from coughing I think... but coughing doesnt change much, and doesnt hurt me..... I smoke... Im just sore now, like I have been these past weeks with shingles, and nothing has gotten worse..... from my experience I know what the heart can do... I dont even get tired on exertion... I just feel like shit with the flu, that Im weak and dont want to walk....I have a very painful stomach and alot of burping which hurts when I go through the motions to burp...

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe it appears to be concerned with the stomach, gastric irritation, or infection of the G.I tract.
You would have taken the angiogram, echo, and E.C.G, the doctors would have found some blocks in the tests.
Some times there might be silent heart attacks, with minimal passage of blood, and no symptoms.
still if you are in doubt you can have an alternative openion.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
