Epigastric pain

Question

Epigastric pain

Asked for Female, 22 Years

I am having epigastric pain that radiates to the back. Feels like I'm carrying a water balloon in my epigastric region and I feel tightness in this region also sometimes in my chest. Can feel it even more during movement like walking. Decreases after taking antacid. Also eating food reduces the discomfort. Appetite almost normal. Even though retching happens after eating too much. Or in the morning while brushing.
