Chest feels itchy inside and feeling of breathing cold air.

has any one else suffered from this having GERD? I am freaking out I really need advice, serious hypochondriac. Really hard for me to see a doctor right now and blah I can't stop worrying. It feels like I am breathing frigid cold air and my lungs are itchy. about a month ago i was having problems with bad chest pains and burping but those went away, now i have this.

Yes, it does. It feels minty and like the inside of my chest is itchy. I often feel the need to make myself cough to clear the itchy feeling but I wouldn't describe it as having a cough. If that makes any sense at all.

I can't stop being scared of big badder things than GERD. I keep telling myself i'm 21 and young and i'ts highly improbable but i'm not very good at positive self talk. My wife keeps thinking that i'm a hypochondriac and that there's nothing wrong with me and while that might be true this stuff keeps freaking me out. Really this is the only place i can go to try to make sense of this.

Greenbeard,
Join all of us with that itchy feeling in sleeping sitting up at night. I find a stack of pillows against the headboard and a pile on each side, keep me from falling over. I have a small 2cm hernia 2 years old now,that came after a diagnostic procedure to look see how my Barretts syndrome, from gird acid washes was going.
I know this sounds weird, but I use organic sesame oil as a night mouth wash for 10 minutes before I sleep, which has helped ease that feeling. I started that from the sore throat feelings after the procedure. I found it was a detox method in a Dr Oz forum, but discovered it eases a lot of other things in this ailment.
