What Causes Pain In Chest After Drinking Water?
Hello! I am a 22 year old woman and, after drinking a glass of milk, I ve been hit with a bout of moderate chest pain and some pain/sharpness when taking in a deep breath of air. I do suffer from acid reflux and IBS so heartburn and indigestion is no unusual for me but it is particularly potent and long lasting here. Could this be an allergy/intolerance to lactose? Or is it related to acid reflux?

Thanks for question on HCM.
In my opinion it is acid reflux only. As lactose intolerance cause diarrhoea first.
And for acid reflux try to follow all these simultaneously for better control.
1. Avoid oily, spicy and hot food.
2. Avoid stress and tension.
3. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals.
4. Quit habits like smoking or alcohol if you have.
5. Loose weight if you are obese.
6. Take proton pump inhibitors.
7. Go for walk after meals.
8. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in bed.
