Chest/back pain
For the last few months I randomly get pain in my middle back along with pain underneath my sternum/under rib cage. It radiates through my chest and also affects my chest. I've had ultrasound, blood tests, breath test. I've tried nexium for 4 months, buscopan too. Nothing helps. The pain is disabling. Please help
Is it related to activity?
Does it change with changing position of the body?
Do you have any shortness of breath/ heartburn/ dyspnoea on exertion?
Is the pain associated with profuse sweating?
Are there any aggravating or relieving factors?
Are / were you taking any pain killers (NSAIDs) ?
Do you have history of hypertension / dyslipidemia?
Any relevant family history?
Next Steps
Get Chest X Ray PA view & ECG done first .
Sometimes you'll require an osephagiogastroduodenal endoscopy and / or cardiac echo.
Health Tips
since the history isn't Complete, all I can say is just avoid spicy food and never miss your meal .
