When you eat, you may have pain in your mouth or throat. Shortness of breath or chest discomfort may arise immediately after eating. I frequently vomit in huge quantities, with force, have difficulty breathing after vomiting, or have vomit that is yellow or green, resembles coffee grounds, or includes blood. These are all signs that you may have ruptured a blood vessel in your stomach and lost large amounts of blood. You must see a doctor right away if you experience these symptoms. In addition, if you wear glasses or contact lenses, don't try to remove them yourself. If they slip off your face, you could strangle yourself with the eyewear wire. Call someone you trust to remove the lenses for you. Finally, avoid eating acidic foods such as tomatoes, citrus fruits, and vinegar. These can cause damage to your esophagus. Instead, eat foods that are high in calcium such as dairy products and nuts. These will help to prevent future problems from occurring. If you suffer from heartburn, then you know how painful and uncomfortable this condition can be. However, not everyone who suffers from heartburn goes to the hospital when they experience symptoms. If you are experiencing any symptoms related to your esophagus please visit your doctor immediately so that any issues can be addressed early on.
