Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to Healthcare Magic.
A sharp pain in the center of chest that radiated on back and it is relieved by aspirin need evaluation to exclude heart problems.
Acid reflux and gas can cause chest pains but usually the pain is not sharp ,doesn't spreads in back and is not relieved from Aspirin.
A possible cause for such pain might be a muscular spasm on chest but first heart disease should be excluded.
I would suggest to consult your physician.You need to do a cardiac check -up to exclude heart problems.
-ECG
-Stress test,
-Heart ultrasound
Hope it helps.
If you need further help,please do not hesitate in writing me.
Take care,
