What Causes Breathlessness And Pain In The Mid-chest And Upper Back?

I have a friend that I took to the emergency room last evening. She had pain in the middle of her chest, short of breath, and then pain in her upper back. An x-ray was taken, a c-scan, was given 3 nitroglycerine and still no relief. What might they find with a chemical stress test scheduled for tomorrow?

Hey there,

Go for EKG an rule out cardiac cause.

Most probably looking like severe gastritis and acid reflux.
