Upper back pain for months, what should I do?
Posted , 3 users are following.
For months(it's going to be a year soon enough) I have had upper back pain that goes away and comes back. I've been to the doctors twice for it, and one time the doctor assumed it was GERD and prescribed tums, the other time the doctor assumed it was because I puilled a msucle and prescribed pain killers and gave me a workout manual.
I had an x-ray a couple months ago that came away with n oacute abnormalities. Is it possible to have any heart disease or conditions and have aclear x-ray?
I'm an 18 y/0 male btw.

1. When it's at it's worst,, I have sternum pain when I breath in.
2. Sometimes my chest feels like it's burning.
3. It happens whne I wake up, a lot now.
4. It goes away when I exercise 90 - 95 percent of the time.
5. Aometimes I can feel a little bit of the same pain on the ride side of my back and chest but it's almost always on the left and a lot more severe on the left.
Any ideas?

It is possible to have certain conditions that are well known not to show up on standard X-Rays, thats why doctors, if they feel that there could be a problem, will have a MRI scan done. If you are at all worried, ask your doctor to send you to have a MRI scan done, if you ask they should do this.
Best of luck, and let us know what happens.

The only good news is they found a lot of muscle spasms on the left side of my back where a lot of pain was, so that may not be related to the heart at all.

I don't know what to do at this point. I had a really bad stretch of palpitations very early this morning for some reason. I'm beocming a hypochondriac at this rate.The back pain is so weird, it almost feels connected to my heart and it's why I'm getting anxiety. Even typing this is giving me head pressure.
Right now, I'll take some aspirin just to give myself some assurance. Very disappointing. I don't evven see how they can read Inferior infarction, left ventricular hypertrophy and abnormal ecg on the ecg papers I gave them, and feel the need to only use a stethescope. I wonder if they even read it.
