What Causes Pain In Upper Abdomen Radiating To The Chest?

I ve only experienced this situation twice - about 6 months apart. I get this somewhat burning, dull ache in center of upper abdomen that radiates to under right breast that is to me an acute situation. The only relief I find is drinking milk. The pain starts to subside within minutes of drinking whole milk. I m then fine. The occurrence, however, is painful and I am unable to do anything until I drink the milk. I ve not tried antacids or anything else. Milk fortunately has always been on hand. Thank you.

thanks for posting here...these are the typical signs of acid reflux disease... milk has alkaline nature and just neutralizes the effect of acid and you feel relieved...start taking proton pump inhibitors or hydrogen pump inhibitors before taking your meals...
