hello, i get the same feeling after i eat certain foods.
Ive, had this for years. I am 43 now and it seems to get worse as i age.
I dont think ist is my heart though it feels like it.
I feel it may have something to do with acid in the stomach and moving around, with gas bubbles building up pressing against my esophigus.
I know it sounds weird and thius is self diagnosis, but i cant seem to find a doctor who can diagnos me properly unless i give them a million bucks.
