I was sick and puked twice and the next day I feel much better, and Im not puking but my chest hurts and my throat hurts. Also its hard and a little painful to take a deep breath in, Im worried that I got something in my lungs which could lead to something worse.?
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. If the chest pain is disturbing your routine activity then get a chest x-ray done to rule out any lung infection. GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can cause similar kind of chest pain. HERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause central chest pain and nausea. You are taking proton pump inhibitors (Pepcid). But along with Chat Doctor.  Avoid stress and tension. Avoid hot and spicy food. Avoid junk food. Avoid large meals, instead take frequent small meals. Quit smoking and alcohol if you have these habits. Go for walk after meals. Keep 2-3 pillows under head in the bed to prevent reflux. Lose weight if you are obeseDont worry, you will be alright. Hope I have solved your query. Wish you good health. Thanks.
