Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Back
Question: I had terrible pain that went from my diaphram straight through me into my back the pain in my back was extreme. does this sound like a gastritis attack?
Brief Answer:
Not gastritis attack.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for asking.
I am Dr. Prakash HM and I will be answering your query.
No, it does not sound like a gastritis. Gastritis will be burning pain and localized to stomach.
If you had this pain for 2-3 days, and it has reduced after taking zantac, it could be gastritis, but low possibility.
However, if it is since a short period, meet your doctor as extreme radiating pain to back, commonly thought of are dissecting aneurysm of aorta or myocardial infarction.
I do not want to alarm you, but do go to ER once for precautionary evaluation.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
