View allI'm experiencing some discomfort and it's making me quite worried. I recently dealt with a lower respiratory infection which is now better, but I've been having these digestion issues since. After I eat, it feels like there's gas building up in my chest. It's strange because there's no pain, just a lot of discomfort. Lately, I've been feeling this tightness or gas build-up in my throat area, or maybe it's the food pipe, again without any pain but really uncomfortable. This tightness is mostly around the lower throat, and sometimes I feel it behind my sternum. What could be causing these symptoms, and what should I do about it?
