What Causes A Painful Chest After Drinking Fruity Sugary Drinks?

Sometimes when I drink fruity sugary drinks (apple cider, or regular pop) or eat watermelon, I get a constricted almost painful feeling in my chest. It is directly connected to the sugar intake, and always passes after 15 to 20 minutes. Could it be related to a metabolic problem?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your chest pain is associated with intake of certain food. So possibility of GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) is more.
It is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter.
Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms of Central chest pain, chest tightness, pressure etc.
So better to start proton pump inhibitors. Avoid foods which cause you trouble.
Drink plenty of fluids orally. Avoid stress and tension. Avoid alcohol and smoking if you have these habits.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these things.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
