Hello doctor,
I'm female, 20 years old. Recently, I often have a feeling of heaviness in my chest when lying on my back, but changing positions is okay and sometimes I have indigestion (a feeling of choking in the neck). The doctor asked me to ask if my chest is heavy when I lie on my back, what is indigestion? I thank you doctor.

Hello,
With the question “Heavy chest when lying on your back, what is indigestion? ”, the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Your signs are not specific symptoms of a medical condition. However, indigestion with a feeling of heaviness in the chest can be a sign of gastroesophageal reflux disease.
You can adjust your diet: Eat in moderation, limit spicy foods, alcoholic drinks, avoid staying up late and avoid stress.
In case the symptoms persist, you should see a doctor for specific examination and advice. Due to the complicated situation of the epidemic, you can contact Vinmec hospital switchboard for instructions on telehealth examination.
If you still have questions about chest heaviness when lying on your back, you can go to a hospital under Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
