What Causes Pain And Pressure While Taking Deep Breath?

I have pain and pressure when I take a deep breath under my left breastbone - I ve had it for 3 days now. Thought it might be indigestion. I do have acid reflex from time to time. I take a Zantac and after about 30 minutes it subsides. I had pressure also in the upper part of my stomach. Should I be concern?

hi
with your signs & symptoms it purely seems to be due to gastritis.
please visit a gastroenterologist for an upper gastro-intestinal endoscopy, to rule out for any gastrointestinal problems.
antacids & proton pump inhibitors will give you good relief
an ECG to rule out any cardiac problems will also relieve your stress.
take care
