heart chest pain - if eat just a little too much or fast?

[teachalot]

Good to know this is normal. Had it first time today and thought I was dying.

this happens with me with my lap band. people over at he lap band talk forum say it's a condition called "esophegeal spasm". Sometimes I feel like I'm having a heart attack b/c it hurts so much. sometimes it's after I ate too much or too fast, but sometimes, all I did was eat a small something, or something too cold or too hot. One of the reasons I want my lap band gone. But to rule out anything major--tell your doctor.

I asked the question about tightness in my chest, now that I have found this thread I feel much better. I had the exact same symptoms at work from overeating the night before, that plus stress from a co-worker and busy little ones I work with, made me feel as though I was having a heart attack.

Now I know to slooowww down and to eat less!!! Ouch it hurt!!!
Thanks for the info.
