Does anyone else have this feeling?

I catch myself a LOT breathing through my mouth so I know I'm taking in excess air and that contributes to excess gas. But does anyone ever have the feeling like your stomach is empty? Even when you're not hungry? I thought I've experienced all the digestive problems, but this is new for me. It just feels I'm bloated, but empty if that makes any sense. And depending on my position, sometimes if I'm sitting or laying down and then I move or stand, I can feel gas bubbles running around. But the empty feeling is weird. It also feels like I have something in my throat. Not that it's stopping me from eating at all, it just feels like I have a lump, you know like when you're about to cry and super emotional? Like that kind of lump not a physical lump. Only I don't feel overly emotional right now.

I've had similar experiences, and I honestly don't know if it's because of the mouth breathing or GERD or combination. I do tend to breathe through my mouth more than the average person, (I don't know the particulars if that's healthy or unhealthy or irrelevant).

Especially when I work out, it's pretty much all heavy mouth breathing and lots of water being drank. Perhaps the combination of the two?

I am familiar with what you describe, and wanted to share that.

Sometimes the strangest symptoms, when we feel no one else could ever possibly feel something as unusual as this,....we post here and find, heck, I guess more people really do have this than I thought. Not feeling like you're the one person with it, trying to battle it alone,.....it's helpful here at HW.....you'll meet a lot of us!
