short of breath

Hey everyone, so i have been getting this tight feeling around my chest and throat and it makes me feel short out of breath, and im unavaible to take deep breaths and also my throat makes this funny sound as if air is coming out but somehow projects a weird sound.

i was wondering if any of you have had this feeling or have an idea of what it could be a sign of.
and this has been going on for a few months now and usually happens after i eat but not always.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
This can be due to gastric reflux or GERD. It can also be due to hiatal hernia. Take Omeprazole empty stomach in morning and an antacid gel at bedtime. Refrain from smoking, alcohol, fuzzy drinks and spicy food. Walking around also helps clear gas. I would strongly recommend you to see a gastroenterologist (a specialist who looks after the diseases of our digestive system) if these tips help you.
Other than this anemia, conditions like asthma and if you have arthritis or costochondritis, then also you can feel short of breath.
Since I cannot examine you and know other related conditions you may be having, nor is a detailed history possible on net, I have listed the various possibilities that should be looked into. Please consult your PCP to run tests and examination to clinch a diagnosis.
Take care!
