Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

After reviewing your sign and symptoms they seems typical for back and spine problems. However, other causes should be excluded (especially cardiac and gastrointestinal causes).

First of all it's essential to find out what is causing your symptoms. This is why all the needed examinations should be done for that. If you were my patient I would have recommended to do the following examinations to find out what is causing your symptoms:
- ECG, cardiac echo, stress test to exclude any cardiac problems.
- Abdominal ultrasound and upper endoscopy for proper gastrointestinal tract evaluation.
- Spine and head x-ray, CT or MRI for proper evaluation of neurological problems.

Meanwhile I would recommend to ad Prilosec OTC and antacids (Malox).

Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
Dr. Klerida
