i've experienced this symptoms as well...been suffering from this for a long period of time...always gassy, burping, difficulty breathing, dizzy , irritation in the throat and constant heartburn...till one night i couldn't breath completely as if its like a heart attack..that happen after i ate toast covered with loads of butter...my doctor says it can alse the cause of my chest infection as well...i noticed having this sensation everytime i it fatty foods, dairy products and citrus....and not eating on time.
