Indigestion and upper back pain?
Posted , 3 users are following.
i have recently had a chest infection and then coughing for about a month afterwards. I have had 2 chest xrays - first had a shadow/fluid which has cleared, but i am still coughing. I even had an inhaler and asthma check, which was negative. I was diagnosed withan hiatus hernia a few years ago, but manage it by taking gaviscon or tablets if i over indulge, My new sympton though is a hot/cramp like pain in my upper back. I am seeing my gp tomorrow to see how to deal with it. I have to lose weight, but get indigestion if my stomach is empty. Does anyone else have this cramp like pain in the upper middle of their back?
The gp sent me to hospital as they though it was a heart attack but all the tests came back clear. I don't take any regular medication, just antacids when I get sysmptoms. Thank you for any replies

I agree that a short trial of a PPI wont do you harm and you wouldnt have difficulty coming off it if it didnt suit you.
I hope the GP appointment is useful. Best wishes.
