Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting your query.
I see that the acidity issues persist. The pain in the back is mostly related to the acidity in the first place.
It can also be due to a muscle sprain on the Rhomboidus muscle. The muscle sprains are usually associated with breathlessness.
I do not see any other causes here. Let me know if it is associated with any swelling, or other related symptoms.
The treatment plan would be to take care of the acidity initially. If it is a muscle sprain, you can opt for topical analgesic sprays like Diclofenac spray. It is available over the counter.
The acidity can be treated using antacids like Omeprazole and dietary changes. Omeprazole is also available over the counter.
There are no side effects of these medicines as such. However, if the analgesics are taken orally, they may increase the acidity problem.
I hope this helps. Let me know if you have more concerns.
Regards,
