He even gave me some type of prescript ion to calm things down. I had a doctor when I was younger and friskier suggest I had IBS. The doctor said "I can do the test, but you won't like it." I don't have the pain that I have seen mentioned with the spasms. I asked my tummy doctor about esophageal spasms and he didn't seem to think that was my problem. Several folks have answered since my post so let me first say "thanks." When I have all these sensations in my chest, it almost feels like my stomach is in my chest, but the doctors have said that doesn't happen.but it makes sense to me! Good luck to you! I've also wondered about a sliding hiatal hernia. Some people with IBS find that the calcium works just as well as the heavy-duty meds. So.if you're sure it's not your heart, I would try some calcium and see what happens. Who knows for sure, though? We could go crazy trying to figure this stuff out, right? The calcium seems to "firm" things up, which must stablize the intestines. I began taking 1200mg of Caltrate Plus a day, and these sensations went away completely!!! So I deduced that maybe what I was feeling were sensations from something like a spastic bowel. I was always surprised to feel a very regular pulse when I was having these sensations, because I could have sworn it was my heart. Do you know how to take your pulse? When you're feeling this in your chest, what is your pulse doing? Sometimes people have mitral valve prolapse, or intermittant runs of irregular heartbeats, and I would want to be sure that wasn't what you were feeling. Our transverse colon goes up real far, into our chests, and I'm sure whatever it does, can be transmitted to our lungs, heart, etc., and feel like it's coming from there.ĭid you have that sensation of fluttering when you had your holter monitor on? That's an important bit of info to know. These other sensations are painless.but very disconcerting! I would keep burping, and it would help a little, but not for long. I also get esophogeal spasms, but they hurt really bad. It definitely felt something like the irregular heartbeats I would also occasionally get. It's a very strange, irritating feeling! For me, it was like I was pumped up with air in my chest, then it was suddenly released. I finally figured out that it's just a transmission of perhaps gas or spasms in my upper GI tract, to my chest. My main symptoms with IBS/Gerd, were diarrhea, incredible bloating, and a sensation of a small animal living in my chest! None of the doctors I went to, ever had any suggestions about that last symptom. It's titled "Are Strange sensations in chest part of IBS?". I started a topic about this on the Irritable Bowel forum here, so you might check it out.
