What Does Chest Pain Along With Acid Reflux Indicate?
I have been experiencing chest pains (sternum, same height in my spine and high rib cage areas) this mainly from feeling that something was lodged behind my sternum from having bad heartburn making it hard to eat. I ve been very tired while having hot and cold spells so last night I took a generic theraflu that helped but now I m feeling fatigued again as I ve returned to work today.
