What Causes Stinging Sensation In Chest On Breathing?

I sometimes feel a weird sensation in my heart that gets worse when I breathe in.When I breathe in, it feels like a sting in my Heart, but when I exhale, the thing goes slightly away.I have a hard time breathing, because i can t breathe in fully without it stings in my heart‏.It s really hard to explain, but hurts a lot and i need to hyperventilate because i cant breathe in fully you-know‏. It hurts a lot, and lasts for a few moments. I m scared that something might happen and i ll die.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and welcome.

Most gastrointestinal conditions mimic cardiac events and cardiac chest pain, and this is called non-cardiac chest pain. In your case this could be due to some underlying condition like gastritis, peptic ulcer disease, hyperacidity, etc. I would recommend a check using a 24-acid monitoring, upper GI endoscopy, blood profile, and the intiation of acid lowering medications like pantoprazole, omeprazole, etc. Drink plenty of water, avoid smoking and alcohol, avoid spicy food, fatty food, fried food, oily food, avoid stress, etc.

Best wishes.
