Suggest Treatment For Chest Pain And Difficulty To Breath
Hi, I am a 23 year old male and over the past 2 years I get chest pains especially after eating BBQ meat which probably is quite hight in fat since it has been in marinade oil first. I suspect the gallbladder, but I would like to have a specialist opinion.
The pain is not concentrated to one spot ( the pain moves around a bit behind the chest bone it feels like on the same height as the heart) but is severe and it radiates to my back and then I sometimes feel a strange pain in my lower jaw. Each "attack" lasts for 5-15 min and then goes away bu returns after 5 min. This repeats around 5 times before it finally settles and everything feels normal again. But when the pain is there, it seems to get a bit worse when breathing in.
I have noticed that I get this pain many times after meals during the summer (because of BBQ) but I did not get it during the winter. Now as it is spring again we had a BBQ and around 7-9 hours after the meal I got the chest pain again so I am really suspecting some food-related disease.
The strange thing is though that even if I eat a pizza or something greasy like that I usually don't get the pains, but I almost everytime get it after BBQ meat. Can it be some one type of fat that may be causing this?
Any ideas?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You might be having meat allergy.
There is co incidence between Meat ingestion and chest pain.
Meat is very rich source of protein.
And proteins are highly allergic in susceptible individuals.
So in my opinion, you should get done food allergy testing.
If it shows meat allergy then you have to stop earing meat.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
