Is chest pressure normal in gastritis?
I live in Shenzhen and I’m super careful with my diet, mostly eating home-cooked food because the humidity here already messes with my stomach. About a month ago I ate a small dinner outside and suddenly got insane stomach pain, chest pressure, and nonstop vomiting the whole night even after taking omeprazole. I genuinely felt like I was having a heart attack because the chest pressure and pain were so intense.
The next day the vomiting slowed down but the pain was still horrible. Ultrasound showed a lot of gas + intestinal inflammation and my CRP was around 25. The language barrier at the hospital made everything way harder, but a local clinic gave me 4 days of infusions and I eventually got better.
Now after a month I had oat milk coffee and the same nightmare started again. This time I vomited less, but it was extremely thick white milky vomit and my stomach started hurting badly again. I also get this horrible pressure in my chest every time it happens and it always feels like I’m having a heart attack. Right now I’m surviving on yogurt and boiled rice.
Anyone experienced something like this before? Especially living in humid Asian climates? How did you recover and start eating normally again?
