[QUOTE="excelnelg, post: 252382, member: 13919"] I just want to take a moment to thank you for your post because I have had the same problem for years and have only recently come to the conclusion that it is a GI related inflammatory response. Multiple expensive visits to the ER for shortness of breath and chest pains were no help whatsoever because the only thing they are concerned with is telling you that it is not a heart attack, not tell you what it actually is or could be (except for anxiety which is their go to). If just one had said maybe it's GI related, it would have set me on the right track long ago. Because it doesn't actually feel like heartburn, and the problem is chest pains and/or having trouble with breathing, you don't realize that the problem is GI related and apparently neither do most of the doctors I've seen. I basically came to the conclusion because it seemed like when symptoms occur, it's an overall systemic inflammatory response that includes the digestive tract shutting down (constipation). I was diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome over a decade ago and because issues with inflammation and cytokines are central to CFS, suspect that it may or may not be related. So far I'm taking pantoprazole and trying to be more mindful of what foods and drinks I consume and (knock on wood) I've seen an improvement in the chest and breathing symptoms. So again thanks for your story and to anyone out there with similar issues, be aware that GI issues can cause what are seemingly non GI related symptoms. The dots do not always connect easily!
