Hi all, have not posted for some time now as had been doing really well. A couple of weeks ago started to notice a burning pain between breasts where the ribs part, if I press in the soft part there it is really tender and burns all along that area under breasts (I am 57 and female). Not sure if this is GERD related. Recently had a liver and spleen scan so all around that area has been checked and showing all clear. I have noticed a really odd taste in my mouth which dentist said is not teeth, as I had a routine check up yesterday. Just wondered if anyone else has had this. The only thing I can think is that I ate something hot which has burnt as it has gone down. I do seem to gulp my food and things like bread can get stuck. Learning to eat slower and take smaller mouthfuls.

Yep found like you need to slow the pace right down and you've probably got heartburn and also a little Inflamed gyno ratting your food yo hot I round leg your meals cool down a bit before eating them and your drinks for a few days so it doesn't burn more kf your still having problems after a week I would try something like Zantac or Gaviscon

And your esophagus can be burnt by reflux coming up from the stomach. Antacid should make you feel better if this is the cause.
If it is, you can consider elevating the head of your bed 5-6 inches so that as you sleep things remain where they should.
A gastroenterologist could take a looktosee if you have a hiatal hernia located where the esophagus and stomach meet.
