Fasting and its effect on chest problems
Fasting helps reduce the occurrence of allergic asthma attacks and bronchitis
Reducing the chances of developing pulmonary embolism and lung cancer
Chest allergies (bronchial asthma
Fasting reduces cholesterol and harmful fats, which contributes to stimulating blood circulation in the body and lungs, thus improving the performance of lung functions and raising the level of oxygen in the blood
Chest pain is a scary thing, especially when it resembles heart pain, and the cause of chest pain and discomfort is often problems in the digestive system
“Non-cardiac chest pain” is recurrent and chronic chest pain that appears to be in the heart, but cardiac tests prove that it is not. The location of the pain is usually behind the breastbone (sternum), and near the heart
Acid reflux into the esophagus: “Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)” is the most common cause of non-cardiac chest pain, reflux (regurgitation) of acidic food or liquids into the mouth, pain in the upper abdomen or chest, difficulty swallowing, and a feeling of Lump in the throat
Stomach ulcers and infections: “duodenum”, and each of them can sometimes cause symptoms similar to those of angina or a heart attack
In fact, the pain resulting from a stomach (or duodenal) ulcer is described as a sharp or stinging pain in the stomach area, but it may sometimes cause chest pain. There may also be a rapid heartbeat or palpitations

Esophageal muscle spasms: Esophageal spasms are abnormal, painful or squeezing contractions that occur inside the esophageal tube. The esophagus is basically a muscular tube, and its primary function is to transport food from the mouth to the stomach
Severe chest pain (chest squeeze). This may last from a few minutes to several hours. Some people may confuse this pain with angina pectoris pain. There is also difficulty swallowing foods and liquids, which is sometimes related to swallowing certain types. Most of these types are very hot or cold liquids. Also the feeling that something is stuck in the throat
Esophageal Hypersensitivity: A functional sensory disorder in which the muscles, nerves, and receptors in the wall of the esophagus are excessively sensitive
Patients who have normal gastroesophagoscopy results, a normal esophageal tissue biopsy sample, and normal gastric acidity, yet have hypersensitivity of the esophagus to acids
(Functional Heartburn)", more than 90 percent of the causes of suffering from heartburn that do not respond to taking medications to reduce stomach acid production twice a day (and not just once a day as usual), which are known as "proton pump inhibitor medications.” Pump

Esophagitis: It is an irritation of the esophagus, and it can cause chest pain when eating, especially behind the sternum, as well as difficulty and pain in swallowing. Stomach acids reflux into the esophagus, exposure to microbial infections, incorrect intake of oral medications, and allergies
Another reason is the sliding of the upper part of the stomach into the chest (above the diaphragm), and this is known as a hiatal hernia, which leads to gastroesophageal reflux
“Eosinophilic esophagitis,” which occurs when there is a high concentration of eosinophils (a type of white blood cell) in the esophagus. It most often occurs in response to an allergen, such as dairy foods, eggs, wheat, soy, pistachios, and seafood. Or due to other types of allergies not related to eating certain foods
Other times, this inflammation of the esophagus occurs as a result of taking some types of medications. If one of us swallows a tablet of medicine with a small amount of water or without water, the tablet itself or part of it may get stuck inside the esophagus, such as the painkillers aspirin and ibuprofen, and antibiotics, such as tetracycline and doxycycline. The presence of a bacterial, viral, or fungal infection in the esophageal tissue may lead to esophagitis
