I feel out of breath alot but the real problem seems to be this pain it feels like air pockets in my chest they hurt and it feels like you have to belch all the time!
I have already had an upper GI and they didnt see anything not even gastric reflux.
It gets really bad when im dizzy , does this make any sense to anyone ?
These air pockets seem to just come on all of sudden and nothing gets rid of them .
If any one knows how to help please let me know .
I have even been to the ER thinking i was having a heart attack.

This has been with me for all of my treatment and before diagnosis. It does feel like a heart attack until the burp comes out.... and I am speaking of monster man burps.
I have this everyday. I don't think that most would describe this as air hunger though.
Have you noticed that it is worse after having eaten or drinking something?

I get both too, sometimes when I'm talking, mid-sentence I involuntarily gulp for air. The person I'm talking to looks at me like'what was that?'

Dear lymesc, I agree with the others about the gallbladder. It normally did that to me. Sometimes, I even got dry heaves because I could not belch. You feel as if you are having a heart attack! Many people who have gallbladder problems often think they are having a heart attack instead of what is really the trouble.
The tests are not always that accurate, though. Nothing showed in the tests, but intuition told me something was wrong. It is a good thing I listened. The PCP was saying the test showed nothing, so my gallbladder could not be an issue. He finally gave in after being pestered enough, and allowed me to see a surgeon.
I was in fact a candidate for surgery, so I had the operation. My gallbladder was extremely inflamed and irritated, and nearly ruptured. It was removed just in time! Later, it was discovered that gallbladder disease tends to be caused by Celiac Disease. You just never know, do you?
