What Causes Pain In The Back And Under The Breasts?
Question: early this morning around 4 am, I was awaken from my sleep with a pain in the center of my back and underneath my breasts on the right side. The pain grew stronger, I got up to go to the bathroom and take a Tums as I thought is was indigestion. The pain in the center of my back was intense and growing stronger. I was feeling very clammy and sweaty. I suffer from IBS and I knew it wasn't that.
I continued to try and sleep and tossed and turned and tried to work with the pain.
Around 9am I took 2 Tramadol which I am taking for Fibromylgia pain and the pain started to let up some and tried to sleep some more.
I didn't vomit, although I had felt like it at the beginning when I took the Tums.
I slept till 1pm and was just wiped, no energy and feeling very tired .
It is now 5pm and my back is starting to hurt some maybe a 4, but I just took 2 more Tramadol.
This was not Fibromyglia pain. It was like a Gall Bladder attack but I have had my Gall Bladder removed and I remember the pain associated it with it.
Just thought I would check with you to see if it is something I should be concerned about.
I am almost 68 year old white woman.
Thank you for this service.

Hi
Thanks for choosing HCM.
Most likely you are having Mild Gastroenteritis overlapped Gastritis due to indigestion.Usually The main symptoms are watery diarrhea and vomiting,stomach pain, cramping, fever, nausea, and a headache.But its not necessary that all symptoms are present in ever patient.Symptoms may depend on severity.
Gut flora is the complex community of microorganisms that live in the digestive tracts of humans. The intestinal microflora is a complex ecosystem containing over 400 bacterial species. The flora is sparse in the stomach and upper intestine, but luxuriant in the lower bowel.If this flora is deplenished patient presents with problems with digestive system including belching,spasmopdic pain bloating,heartburn and increased gas formation.
.I would suggest you to start good quality probiotics for a few days.If pain is more you can ask your gastro to prescribe you with some antispasmodic medicines like Dicyclomine for few days.Pantoprazole should also be taken for a few days for overall symptoms relief.
To cut it short advices are-
Take any over counter Probiotic and Tab Pantoprazole 40 mg this will provide you with symptomatic relief,Consult a physician and get a prescription for Antispasmodics(will help you with spasm and pain).
Tests advice
USG abdomen
Stool routine and microscopy.
E.C.G
Some general precautions are-
- Increase XXXXXXX warm water intake
- Eat plentiful "fresh oranges" and "pear "
- Take a diet which is very low in Fat.
- Add lot of vegetables and fruits to your diet.
-Try to eat vegetable,Take a lot of yoghurt along with food.
-Take two tea spoon isphagula husk with 200 to 300 mL water once while going to bed every day.
- Avoid COLD milk and and AVOID junk food(NO burger , pizza-even if its veg.)
