What Causes Discomfort In The Chest Despite Taking Prilosec?

My Co Workers husband has been awakened in the night ....he describes a sensation that felt like someone reached into his chest and was pulling out his spine. He has been checked by our local rural doctors, ekg, enzymes in his blood etc, and they prescribed Prilosec for his symptoms. The symptoms have not abated.

Hello,

As you explain the situation probably it might have been gastric reflux at that moment. Try to sleep with an elevated head.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
