Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Having pain in my chest that goes from front to back between shoulder blades. Feels as though I swallowed air & it’s trapped but it has awakened me three times this week. Always happens while asleep. Comes on suddenly & subsides very slowly all the while having extreme pain
The symptoms seem to be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease. I suggest to do an electrocardiogram to exclude cardiac issues. Meanwhile, I suggest using antacids such as Maalox three times a day. I also suggest to use a PPI medication such as Omeprazole 20 mg in the morning before breakfast.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
