I have had this tightness for two weeks. Yes I have tried ibuprofen and Bayer aspirin. I am taking high blood pressure medicine only. My back keeps spasm in mid back region.
Brief Answer:
probably gastrointestinal problems
Detailed Answer:
Hi again
As you explain the history it seems to me to be a gastrointestinal discomfort,from the stomach or from the intestines or from pancreas gland.
Usually gases in the intestines causes this kind of symptom.
However acidic reflux from the stomach as well.
I reccommend you to take Omeprazol once orally before breakfast for two weeks. To be careful with the food, no spicy no alcoholic.
If you will feel better again nothing more to do.
If not than probably some tests are needed for example :
Abdominal ultrasound
LDH
Lipasa in your saliva
However start the above treatment and keep monitoring the situation.
Take care and feel free to ask me again
