heartburn in center of chest

I was wondering if heartburn/indigestion feeling in the center of my chest could be a new symptom of the hyperthyroid i was just diagnosed with. Mostly I have been having trouble with panic attacks but the last couple days I have a burning chest-dead center-kinda like heartburn......any clues? Is hyperthyroid known to have heartburn as a symptom as well as all the other lovely symptoms I have been having??? THanks!!!!

I dont have a heartburn type pain or any other stomach discomfort, its a nagging pain in the center left of my chest in one main spot and its feels real tight and hurts its a burning type pain but not that of heartburn.......Im so tired of it and now my left shoulder has been killing me....feels like tension cause the chest pain is so bad I have been tensing up, its kinda hard not to do.....I just pray everyday that it goes away....

I really need help on this, I have a constant 24/7 discomfort in the left side of my chest, it feels like a intense burning pressure, I feel my heart beating hard almost like its vibrating in my chest, normal beat not fast, its very tight and I have lil pains almost a tingling stinging sensation in left center of the chest. It is not the burn like heartburn. My upper back feels very tight and my chest hurts even more if i put pressure on it.

Have you noticed if eating certain foods makes it worse? If pain in the center of the chest lasts 30 minutes or longer, it could be a heart attack. How long is the pain lasting and how severe is it? When arteries spasm it can be felt in the chest and sometimes the back. Do you ever get pain in your back or a vibrating feeling in your back? Start first with a chiropractor to see if you have any misaligned bones. This could be causing all of your symptoms.

At the very end of a deep breath I feel tight across the chest.

I also get a weird metallic taste in my mouth whenever the symptoms really flair up. Most of my pain also feels like it is at the top of my chest, not in the center or the back. I also feel burning sensations across my upper abdomen when the symptoms become very bad. In all, I am probably just over reacting and causing unnecessary stress on myself, but I just wanted to know if I should go to the hospital or keep taking my medicine.

I'm currently on the triple therapy with incivek. I'm taking my 4th shot tomorrow. For the past three days I've had a tightness in the middle of my chest right under my breast bone/above my stomach. It doesn't hurt but it's uncomfortable and it comes and go throughout the day but I notice it more at night when I'm laying down. Has anyone experienced this feeling? The best way I can describe it is a feeling like someone is squeezing the inside of my chest.

I have been a heavy drinker for two years now. I am 35 years old, 5 foot 10, weigh 180 pounds. I have had a history of high cholesterol and triglycerides, but according to doctors, the ratings were nothing extreme. I have had a pain in the center of my chest for six weeks and it won't go away. I feel it more when I'm lying down and when I take a deep breath. I don't have health insurance so I haven't seen a doctor. I'm hoping someone can tell me what is causing the pain.

Can I also point at that you said it's nothing major that you feel the pain isn't strong that can be acid reflux. It can also occur in the throat. Am not saying you this, but pain in middle of chest is commonly known for heartburn if you don't have any heart problems, which in this case you don't because you had an ekg test. Heartburn happens to many people, it's not seen as something that is medical, unless you get it all the time.

Sometimes my neck muscles feel really tight and like something is stuck in there. I get a burning feeling in the middle of my chest and sometimes burp up something that taste sour. I don't know if heartburn is common with anxiety, maybe i have GERD, I dunno. I am just constantly thinking about this and worried about this. Having pain and tightness in the chest is really a scary thing.

t feel any pain immediately but the next day I had a sharp stabbing pain in the left side of my chest which lasted for about 5 minutes. Later that night I had a dull pain in the center of my chest, which got progressively worse for the next few weeks. The pain increases when I take a full breath or exhale fully, and it increases when I exercise. Also when I run it feels like my lungs are unable to inhale fully.

I now have a sharp pain in the center of my chest, in the breast bone region. I also have a tightness in my throat and shooting pains in my left breast. These pains will last throughout the day. The past month I have been having jaw pains as well, but my doctor dismissed these as sinus problems. When I wake up in the morning my chest feels very tight, almost as if a muscle has been pulled.

Wow, you sound like me. Pain in my center chest (sternum). Slight pain under ribs. Belching. Also I have bloated feeling. Went to ED and mentioned "chest pain". Wow that was a mistake, But, they did check everything having to do with the heart and all came back normal. Do you have any more info on your problem?

By that time my RCA had become over 90% blocked. So in short, yes, cardiac chest pain is usually in the dead center of the chest. But in my opinion any chest pain should be evaluated. Start out with an appointment with your doctor.

I have a tightness in the far left of my chest at base of shoulder that radiates to the center of my back what could cause this also often I have pain n left side up back of neck

I'm a 28 year old female. Never had any former health problems, not even a broken bone. I've been having progressively worse chest pain for about 5 months now. There is a constant pain that comes and goes, kind of in waves. And much more severe pain that I have come to call attacks. The pain is focused in the center of my chest but it feels like my lungs are cramped up. It's difficult to breath, I get light headed and sweaty.

About a year ago, he began experiencing heartburn. He began taking Zantac, as the heartburn was only occasional, usually upon eating a meal high in fat content. Eventually, the heartburn began showing up every night, and the Zantac became a regular routine...taken before bed, assuming the heartburn would show up a few hours after he drifted off. It always did. A bit after that, another thing started up. During sex, within a few SECONDS after orgasm, he is overwhelmed by one massive cough.

I'm 30 weeks and have been getting pains in my chest since yesterday, anyone know what it could be?

For last 1 1/2 weeks my chest has a pain in the center. Notice in the morning after laying down and when I swallow I feel pain. I had a cold/flu approx. 6 weeks ago and was able to function after about 2 days. However, I have had a persistent cough that never seem to go away. Its not all the time once I am up in the morning it eleveates for the most part but annoying. I have recently started on ibuprophen and it helps a little. I do not feel like I have congestion.

I felt better, but then I has a sudden chest pain that lasted a few seconds again, but it felt crushing and it was more towards the center of my chest. Is my body going haywire due to sudden dietary changes? Should I be concerned?

Also, pain from the heart is generally at the center of the chest, not to to the left and would feel like a tight band. also the fact you can pinpoint the pain suggests its not from the heart as pain from the heart can be hard to pin point.

I went to the ER and had blood work, and everything. I had bad heartburn too that just burned in the center of my chest so bad and with me worrying my heart would start racing and pound like it was going to burst. But this hospital told me everything was ok. I kept going back saying no something is terribly wrong. I would even feel sick at times. Eventually they decided to give me an MRI and catscan. Hmmm.

This nerve stimulation results most commonly in heartburn, the pain that is characteristic of GERD. Heartburn usually is described as a burning pain in the middle of the chest. It may start high in the abdomen or may extend up into the neck. In some patients, however, the pain may be sharp or pressure-like, rather than burning. Such pain can mimic heart pain (angina). In other patients, the pain may extend to the back.

I drank a tall glass lemonade five days days ago, and six hours after drinking it (and eating nothing in between), I started having a sharp, uncomfortable stomach ache which moved up into my chest, giving me heartburn I THINK ( not a burning feeling, like a really bad stabbing, pressure feeling) in the center of my chest.

The chest pain is concerning. Where does it hurt? I was having pain in the middle of my chest... not where my heart was. Mine was reflux... in that case. I have also had panic attacks. Those did hurt higher, and I seriously thought I was going to have a heart attack or was having them. If it's heartburn, I can say that Tums didn't do a thing for me. I love Zegerid, it's a PPI available OTC that works fast (but is lasting).
