4842016 tn?1372039067 Yea. Its usually in my chest, stomach, lower and upper back. Its horrible. I've taken tums so much that they've quit working. And I was like you, even had it bad before I got pregnant. And it gets so bad that I can't even sit down comfortably.

2089807 tn?1348062748 Im 31 weeks pregnant and earlier all of a sudden I got severe chest pain, in my upper chest like right at the top of my boobs. Its mostly on the right side but when I breathe deep it spreads to the left side. It hurts to breathe and I feel like I cant hardly breathe. Its.eased up a little but now feels sore, even hurts to the touch. What could be causing this? Im also having severe heartburn and my son is going crazy in my ribs. Has anyone else experienced this?
Avatar f tn No defiantly not heartburn.
Avatar f tn Over the past few days, I now feel these sensations and sharp pains on both sides of my sternum and even more into the upper chest/shoulder area. I have no heartburn or pain in my esophagus. Do you have any suggestions for me? Any clue as to what could be causing this? Would you recommend I see a pulmonologist or a GI dr?
Avatar f tn 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.
Avatar n tn The doctor is probably looking for esophagitis, gastritis or even gastric ulcer by doing an upper GI endoscopy. Long history of heartburn can result in any of these conditions and all of them can cause chest pain. The tiredness could be due to low hemoglobin. I would suggest you to take plenty of green leafy vegetables and an Iron supplement to improve your hemoglobin levels.
Avatar m tn m feeling OK. I still have heartburn, chest and back pain and some vague upper right quadrant pain but not nearly to the extent it was before. I also haven't had any intense acute pain since surgery (had that a few times before). Here is the pathology report: "Received in formalin is a gallbladder 8.0 cm in length x 2.0 cm in average diameter. The external surface is purple tan and finely vascularized. The hepatic bed is brown-tan and ragged.
Avatar f tn m going to be sick constantly and my throat feels raw. I think the worst is the upper chest pains waking me up at night..
Avatar n tn So I have gone to the doctors twice over the past two months because I have been having pains in my chest and upper abdomen. I went once in May and again just yesterday. Both times I had an EKG test done and I also had tests done for gallbladder, and stomach bacteria. Both of my EKG's came back normal, and according to both doctors my heart looks great. The tests for gallbladder and stomach bacteria also came back negative. So both doctors think that I am suffering from severe heartburn.
Avatar f tn Ive had chest pain on and off radiating sometimes to both upper arms. also shortness of breath at times and fatigue. also some flu like symptoms. when I rest I get much better. but it doesn't go away completely and in the last few days it has been worse than ever. I woke up with heartburn which is strange because I never get indigestion. I am not sleeping well which is also unusual. I have normal blood pressure and I am not overweight. My total cholesterol is in the low 200s.
Avatar f tn Last night I had pain going from my right upper arm going across my chest and finishing on my left upper arm, It was painful, and I took codeine for it, what I want to know is, could it have been a cardiac symptom, it was bad enough for me to consider an ambulance. During the day I would have phoned our surgery for advice.
Avatar f tn Within an hour the pain was widespread throughout my upper body (chest, esophagus, clavicles, both arms, shoulder blades, upwards into the right side of my neck and jaw). As the bouts continued the intensity also continued and was accompanied by periodic heaving/vomiting (not due to nausea but due to the sever pain spreading into my throat and triggering my gag reflex). Later in the bouts - the central location seemed to settle into the bottom of my throat and extreme upper chest.
396332 tn?1320003615 I just got my upper endoscopy done today. On the sheet my doctor gave me his findings read "patulous lower exophageal sphinter" and "Gastric mucosal abnormality characterized by erythema". He also took a biopsy of part of my stomach where that gastric mucosal abnormality was. I guess that means my doctor said he saw red inflamated parts of my stomach. But I am just wondering what exactly those two terms mean? Apparently I have GERD becuase of all the acid being built up....
Avatar m tn Last night I vomited and about 10 minutes later I had a sharp pain in my chest that went in to my upper abdomen. The pain seemed to go away but when I would lean over I would feel it. The pain went away last night and I was okay even until this morning. At random points through out the day the sharp pain comes on and off on my left side of chest right near my rib cage and also on and off the same pain in between my belly button and sternum. I do suffer from chronic heartburn and indigestion.
Avatar f tn ve been having this lil sharp pain on the side of my belly button, everytime I get up from sitting down. Also, on my upper tummy, idk of its heartburn but I doubt it. Because never got heartburn b4, only once when I ate something super spicy. Idk if it's round ligament pain. But I'm concerned?
Avatar f tn The past month I have been having on and off heartburn. Pain in the upper back. Mild pain in upper and lower abdomen. And sometimes around my chest. And after all this pain will occur (which is on and off) I will sometimes get the sensation to either pass gas or have to make a bowel movement. If I do either or, the pain will simmer down. It always feels like I have something in my throat which I had some tonsil swelling in the beginning of April which is still on and off.
Avatar m tn About two weeks ago, I had a 24 hour type stomach virus that included vomiting and body aches, but no diarrhea. Following that episode, I had a consistent acid reflux problem that included upper chest and esophageal burning, as well as upper chest discomfort that would be relieved by changing position or belching. I started watching my diet, eating less at dinner and cutting back the acid producers as well as snacks.
Avatar f tn Hi Im 25w&5d & my chest & upper back hurts all day & so bad at night that I can barely sleep. People that I ask keep telling me that I may need a different bra to help support me, but I feel like they`re just minimizing it, idk what do you ladies think??
537497 tn?1292553056 If you had a hiatus hernia, you would be feeling a burning sensation in your chest, like "heartburn", especially when you are lying down. Does it feel that way when you lie down?

Avatar n tn I continue to feeling burning in my chest and chest pain and upper abdominal pain. I have been to the ER a few few times just in case but they have never found anything wrong with my heart. Do you have any suggestions?
Avatar n tn Hi Jeanie, the radiation you refer to, ductal carcinoma in situ -DCIS, can you please let me know the site and if left or right breast? Although Annie's was ductal invasive, node neg, the site of surgery for br sparing surgery was on the outer rim of rh breast right next to the sternum. However tattoo marks extend over the sternum to the opposite left healthy breast. During the course of radiation Annie told Oncology that 'you are making the heartburn worse, you are burning too deep!
Avatar f tn I stopped taking them in late June because it was making me tired, and I had a really nasty bout of acid reflux and sweating one night, and other digestive issues. The heartburn went away for a few weeks, but then came back with a vengeance and wreaked havoc on my life for the next couple of months. It caused sore throat, and heartburn mainly, and also developed fluid in the inner ear which caused chronic pain and popping.
