Fish oil side effects?

[AdelV]

Recently changed brand for my Fish oil intake to Swiss, they're 50% more as in 1 cap has the dose of 2 caps.

Anyways ive been getting weird chest pains(central), just uncomfortable and odd?(not painful)

Why? In past i can take 6-8caps a day, but with this brand if im taking 2 aka 4 in one hit i get this odd pain? Ive never had it before.

Should I be worried? I also feel really hot, and im drinking way more water.

Thanks

Main side effect I get from Fish oils are Fish Burps...Now being serious, unless it has mercury in it (meaning they do not purify it) I wouldn't think it is related to the Fish Oil.

Had someone at work claim same issue. Honestly i felt nothing this morning and then a few hrs after gym i took 2 caps and half an hr later it started up again! :/

Maybe you're sensitive to the cap vs the oil. Is one coated (non-burp) and the other regular?

All types ive tried are oil. These are just super strength! Mostly all huge Australian brands. I just dont get it.

I realize they are oil. Some caps are coated to allow them to move further into your digestive system before dissolving. These are usually labeled "non-burp". My thought is that you may be sensitive to the coating.

Fair enough.

Ill lay off the brand for a few days, only other thing ive upped dosage on is royal jelly.

Ive got really dry lips, feel quite warm constantly & the odd feeling in the middle of my chest juat above the solar-plex.

It's not related to omega-3s if you're consuming a reasonable amount. Not due to enteric coating either

Kinda in the "Go see a Dr!" category. Ditto..fish oil isn't doing this.

put them in the freezer and that will allow your body to break them down slower. I switched brands before and got some bad gas from the new brand so I asked my doc about it and he told me he freezes his and I haven't had a problem since. just a thought

Dammit! Well I havent hsd it badly today? What would a dr say? I doubt much! Its like a little pain scale 1 out of 10 dead middle of chest above heart! Its weird.

I guess If it still is happening tomorrow, or the weekend I can go to the drs.

Im also very dehydrated. I aint taking anything else fancy! I got no idea. :/

Might be gastro reflux/GERD, but a firm diagnosis is always a good thing. Speculating about internal pain in the chest area just doesn't seem wise.

Heart pain would refer the shoulder region. More likely that you are suffering from reflux. Is the pain sharp or dull?
