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.

Gastroenterology

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.

Stomach bloating that make feel discomfort to someone

Female | 28

Bloating can cause discomfort and is often due to indigestion, gas, or dietary choices. Common symptoms include a feeling of fullness, visible swelling in the abdomen, and occasional pain. To alleviate this, try to eat smaller meals, avoid carbonated drinks, and incorporate fiber gradually into your diet. Staying active with light exercise can also help. If these simple adjustments don't bring relief or if your discomfort persists, I encourage you to consult a gastroenterologist. They can provide tailored advice and rule out any underlying issues.

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.

I am 14 and reports of abdominal scan revealed that I have distended urinary bladder and distended gall bladder.is this serious or normal

Female | 14

A scan of your stomach showing a distended urinary bladder and gall bladder is interpreted to mean that they are more filled than usual. For instance, holding your urine back for a long time might be the cause of the urinary bladder and gallstones the gallbladder. Pain or discomfort, or the need to go to the toilet often, can also be symptoms. Drinking some water, or eating right may be some of the actions, but to get proper advice, the best thing will be to see a gastroenterologist.

I have pain in my upper stomach

Male | 36

Upper stomach pain may be attributed to a wide range of causes. Indigestion, acid reflux, or even a stomach ulcer could be the reason for this. However, in other cases, eating spicy or fat-rich foods is a cause of such diseases. It is not only necessary to keep track of your diet but also to try to stay away from foods that cause pain. Drinking copious amounts of water and consuming smaller, more frequent meals are also two good ways to lessen the inconvenience. If the problem remains or is more painful, it is necessary to visit a gastroenterologist.

Male | 39

You won't find high blood pressure caused by stomach and acidity disorders. However, if you're often in a state of worry because of such a situation, it may have a slight impact on your blood pressure. Experiencing symptoms such as stomach ache, puffy belly, and heartburn can make you feel uncomfortable. You should eat less, avoid spicy foods, and learn to relax through techniques such as deep breathing or yoga, which will help you manage stress.

Male | 18

You've made a mistake - took 2 Agna 25000 tablets instead of 1. This is dangerous. Taking too much can cause side effects like stomach pain, nausea, and dizziness. Since Agna 25000 treats pancreatitis, overdosing can harm you. Contact a gastroenterologist or go to the hospital right away. They'll guide you on what to do next.

I am 25 year old female I have a abdominal pain what's the reason

Female | 25

There are many explanations for why you could be feeling this way. It may be some food you ate like spicy food or too much. Another possible explanation is for gas or bloating. The other one is if your period starts and you're on it, menstrual cramps. Drinking lots of water, eating smaller meals, and taking over-the-counter medications such as ibuprofen can help relieve the pain. If the pain continues or worsens, visit a gastroenterologist for further evaluation.

I am a 24 year old male have diarrhea since Sunday Morning. I tried anti diarrhea medication and still no relief. Chills when I go to sleep

Male | 24

Loose poop is when you go to the bathroom a lot and it is watery. It can happen from bugs, bad food, or worry. Drink lots of water so you don't get dry. Eat simple foods like plain rice, bread, and bananas. If it keeps happening, talk to a gastroenterologist.

I am a girl and I am almost 17 years old actually since I was a child I had the constipation problem but that hasn't really affected me since yesterday Actually yesterday I constipation but at the same time I was bleeding a lot from my anus but as soon as I stop pooping the blood stopped but that area still burns and today I went again to the toilet and I am bleeding again I am so stressed pls tell me what might me the cause and what should I do?? My stomach hurts a lot and also my lower back I want to go to the toilet but I am scared of bleeding.

Female | 17

You may be suffering from a fissure in the anus. It is a small cut in the skin lining of the anus, which can cause pain and bleeding during bowel movement. Probably, the constipation is the reason why the fissure is more irritated. To relieve the situation, a high-fiber diet, drinking more water, and avoiding exertion when defecating may be helpful. You may also use over-the-counter creams for the pain and burning feeling. If the symptoms stay or worsen, urgent attention from a gastroenterologist for further diagnosis and medical precautions is crucial.

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 take opioids for recreational use and also for anxiety. They have been a life saver for me. But now all of a sudden I am experiencing extreme constipation. It is worth nothing I've had chronic constipation issues my whole life pretty much. I took 2 glasses of MiraLax and 3 Dulcolax stimulant laxatives.

Male | 23

Opioids are known to cause constipation by slowing down intestinal movement. Chronic constipation can lead to further complications if not addressed. Taking MiraLax and Dulcolax was a good start, but it's also important to drink plenty of water and eat high-fiber foods to help improve the condition. Additionally, including light exercise, like walking or yoga, in your routine can be beneficial. If the constipation persists, it would be a good idea to consult a gastroenterologist for further advice and support.
