Stomach bloating, chest pain, chest tightness, what's going on

Stomach distension and chest tightness may be related to gastritis, asthma, angina pectoris and other causes.

1.

Inflammatory reaction caused by gastritis affects gastric function, leading to prolonged food retention in the stomach, easy to be decomposed by bacteria and produce gas, which leads to symptoms of stomach distension. At the same time, due to increased pressure in the stomach, it may produce pressure on the lungs and cause chest tightness. In addition, after the disease due to inflammation on the surrounding nerve endings stimulation, can lead to pit pain.

2, asthma

asthma caused by airway inflammation may lead to airway nerve stimulation, and then affect the autonomic nervous system, this neural mechanism may lead to stomach discomfort, pit pain and chest distress symptoms.

3, angina pectoris

angina attack, the patient's autonomic nervous system will be activated, may trigger a series of physiological reactions. For example, the excitation of the sympathetic nervous system will speed up the heart rate, vasoconstriction, thus increasing the burden on the heart, there are symptoms of chest pain. Excitation of the parasympathetic nervous system weakens the gastrointestinal tract, leading to reduced digestive function and, in turn, stomach distension.
