It's often caused by reflux or haitus hernia.
I had it two years ago along with gastritis. Nausea, heartburn, abdominal pain, vomiting.
Took six months to clear and still comes back occasionally.

I had it recently during and after taking a course of antibiotics. It felt as if I had eaten something without chewing it properly and it was stuck at the top of my chest.

Fortunately it didn’t last long (a couple of weeks at most).

Yes, breathlessness, pressure in chest and palpitations too... was quite scary! It took 7 months + of max dose of esomeprazole and famitidine to get it under control.. plus no wine, no tomatoes, nothing acidic.

I'm still on meds !
