Why do I feel chest congestion when sleeping?

Patient's Query

I am 22 years old boy...i was normal till last night but when I went to sleep I started feeling congestion in middle of my chest like some food is stuck there...even when I drink water it is going down slowly. I am feeling uncomfortable to sleep...but I don't have problem in eating ,drinking, or breathing. I did vomit by inserting finger in my throat but it didn't help much. And this is first time in my life I am feeling like this.

Answered by Dr. Samrat Jankar

You might be dealing with acid reflux. Reflux of stomach acid can travel upwards and reach your esophagus. Thus, you can feel the food stuck in your chest. This can happen, in particular, when lying down. First of all, you should try to sleep with your head raised up a little. Secondly, it would be a good idea not to drink and eat within the same time frame before going to sleep. If these symptoms last, then it is advisable to consult a gastroenterologist.

I feel vomit and stomachache when eating Bp low an shiver at night Weakness Loss appetite

Male | 21

You might have a stomach bug. Fe­eling nauseous, abdominal pain, low blood pressure­, night chills, fatigue, or lack of appetite indicate­ this. A virus likely causes it. Rest, stay hydrate­d, eat plain foods like toast or crackers to se­ttle your stomach. If no improvement in a fe­w days, seek medical he­lp.

Male | 23

Drinking alcohol frequently can lead to digestive issues and chest pain. These symptoms may be due to gastritis or acid reflux caused by alcohol irritating your stomach and esophagus. To help alleviate your symptoms, try to reduce or stop drinking alcohol and opt for a healthier diet with smaller meals. Drinking plenty of water can also aid digestion. If the issue persists, please seek medical advice.

If the gall bladder has wall thickening, patients should get a gastroenterologist as soon as possible. They are experts on diseases of the digestive tract and can effectively report the diagnosis as well as the treatment.

Can you please tell me if anything on my ultrasound would indicate liver problems or anything else of concern? EXAMINATION: ABD COMP ULTRASOUND CLINICAL HISTORY: Pancreatitis , chronic. Increased pain right upper quadrant. TECHNIQUE: 2D and color Doppler imaging of the abdomen is performed. COMPARISON STUDY: None FINDINGS: The pancreas is obscured by bowel gas. Proximal aorta is also not well seen. Mid to distal aorta is grossly normal in caliber. The IVC is patent at the level of the liver. The liver measures 15.9 cm in length with coarse echotexture and loss of architecture definition consistent with infiltrative change, nonspecific. No focal geographic abnormality identified. Hepatopetal flow in the portal vein noted. The gallbladder is normally distended with no gallstones, gallbladder wall thickening or pericholecystic fluid. Can not exclude a small amount of dependent sludge. The common bile duct measures less than 2 mm in diameter. The right kidney demonstrates normal corticomedullary differentiation. No obstructive uropathy. The right kidney is 10.6 cm in length with normal color flow. Left kidney is 10.5 cm in length with normal corticomedullary differentiation and no evidence of obstruction. The spleen is fairly homogeneous. IMPRESSION: Limited evaluation of the pancreas and proximal aorta due to bowel gas. No obvious free fluid, correlation needed, consider CT with IV contrast if additional assessment warranted. Subtle gallbladder sludge suspected. No acute cholecystitis.

Male | 39

Based on the ultrasound findings, the report mentions some observations, but it also notes limitations due to bowel gas obscuring the pancreas and proximal aorta. No focal abnormalities or gallbladder issues are identified, although a small amount of dependent sludge cannot be completely ruled out. The kidneys and spleen appear normal.Further evaluation and correlation are recommended, such as a CT scan with IV contrast, if needed. No acute cholecystitis or obvious free fluid is noted. Also make sure to consult your doctor for a comprehensive assessment and interpretation of the results.

I'm 17 year old . I'm smoking and doing masterbation from last three years. Drink alcohol eight times and also eating junk food. Now I'm very week . My blood pressure is low at 70/100 . My digestive system also disturbed very badly.

Male | 17

Smoking, excessive masturbation, alcohol consumption, and junk food intake can be a great hindrance for your body before you live your life at its full potential. Weakness, low blood pressure, and digestive problems are manifested by these bad habits most of the time. Limit these addictions, eat healthier foods, and keep hydrated. Also, take a rest and let your body heal itself.

I have a question. My boyfriend took 15 multivitamin pills, he is 33 years old, 159cm, around 60-65 kgs. I think he took around 120 mg of iron which those pills had. It happened earlier today, He was nauses, had diarrhea that looked black and oily and sticky, his stomach hurt he went to the toilet like 5 times. He went to sleep assuring me he will be fine but im worried, could it be internal bleeding? He doesnt normally use vitamins, not sure but i dont think he has iron deficiency. it happened today. He takes adderrall, he didnt eat today, and he had about half a bottle of red wine. First he took 8 pills, then 4, then 3 all in the span of a few hours, i think his last was like 12 hours ago?

Male | 33

It appears that your boyfriend may have an upset stomach after consuming a large number of multivitamin tablets that contain iron. Black, icky, tar-like poop and abdominal tenderness are indicative of possibly internal bleeding. The situation could have been aggravated considering he ingested Adderall, skipped meals, and drank alcohol. He must seek immediate medical attention.

Had the flu week ago….all the symptoms…. Stool clay color, now having pain under right rib cage…2 days ago started having loose stools every time eating something…Stool getting back to normal color now… No abdominal pain and no back pain….Is this something be concerned with… Do not take med only Tylenol….

Female | 65

Your flu last wee­k messed with your digestion. The­ clay-colored poop is likely due to a live­r or gallbladder hiccup. That rib pain on your right side? It connects. The­ loose stool after eating shows your body's still he­aling. But since your poop's regaining color and pain's mild, just rest up. Drink lots of wate­r. Eat simply digestible foods. If that rib ache pe­rsists or intensifies, see­ a doctor. For now, your body's recovering from illness.
