Avatar n tn I have been suffering with pain in my chest for 9 years. I was diagnosed with GERD/Acid Reflux and have taken Prilosec, Protonix, and Ranatidine with varying degrees of success.

This stopped the spasms for quite awhile but for the last year or so, I have been experiencing pain every night that won't go away no matter which meds I take.

Avatar f tn 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. Since acid reflux is more common after meals, heartburn is more common after meals. Heartburn is also more common when individuals lie down because without the effects of gravity, reflux occurs more easily, and acid is returned to the stomach more slowly. Many patients with GERD are awakened from sleep by heartburn.

187666 tn?1331173345 Is there a way to tell the difference between typical chest pain vs. pain in the esophagus.

Avatar n tn I am trying to do some research for my brother who has been struggling with terrible intermittent pain in his esophagus for the last 4 years. He has been to the mayo clinic where he underwent a battery of tests and had numerous other tests with other doctors trying to figure this out, to date he has had no relief. He is on medication for GERD, and has been prescribed pain medication. He is miserable and all this has produced anxiety and a lot of stress. He is now in an anti-depressant.

Avatar f tn Thanks for the info. I get the pain in the center of my chest so I assume that is the esophagus, but I still don't get why I get pain from my heart area that radiates at time across my chest and into my shoulder and outside left breast area. I'll call the doctor's to ask about the meds you mentioned. The doctor didn't bring these up but did say I would need to stop the PPI 5 days before the test. I wonder if these would affect my test results?

Avatar f tn Several months ago I felt pain (it wasn't really strong) in my chest bones. My chest bones usually do stick out a little (something me and my sister got from our dad) but now I think they stick out even more than usual. My main concern is this pain I have, I can't really locate it, sometimes it's in my bones above breats, sometimes it's somewhere between bones. I googled it (I know, mistake) and of course it's a sign of lung cancer.
