    Yes, I have experienced this also. I could not take a deep breath without feeling like I was being stabbed in my upper back, then to have it radiate to the front under ribcage, center of chest...I usually run to my asprin bottle and take one just encase, lol. But after walking around or using a massager on my back it subsides and all is good. Try to relax when it happens even though it hurts like crazy, if you get tense it gets worse! : )

    Yes I have. It sounds like a gastritis attack. I usually take an Omeprazole and it helps quells the discomfort. I hope this helps.
