I weigh 189 lbs at 5 9 and have history of diabetes but, currently on no meds....sugar controlled by diet.

Hello,
Pain in the mid chest and back may be due to muscle strain, pleural (outer layer of lung) inflammation and effusion, angina or heart pain, dissecting aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, and thoracic outlet syndrome.
Treatment depends upon the cause. To those who come to my clinic with similar symptoms, I would suggest few investigations may be necessary like ECG, 2D echocardiography, chest X-rays, and CT chest. So please do consult a physician to arrive at a specific diagnosis and appropriate treatment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Pallavi M., Anesthesiologist

Hello,
It might be a malabsorption situation probably by a food you have eaten or a change in the quantity of it. Try to be careful and if you have also soft stools than it should be better for you to be seen by your doctor.
