I have always had a problem with heartburn for the last I'd say 20 years. I would just get a lot if wind burping and uncomfortable pain in chest but would pass after a little while. So on Tuesday this week I suddenly got a strong achy sore pain across top of my chest and top of my back sort if lung area. At the sane time I felt a irritation soreness at bottom of throat, it also hurt a little to move forward or bend down it felt as if I'd sprained something. This continued for about 3-4 hours then it disappeared. I was fine Wednesday and then it came on again Thursday early evening, sane as before and I had a few little burps this time too! It rad diff a bit but remained uncomfortable so I visited doctor on Friday. He examined me and said it was inflammation if the gullet, oesophagus and something about burning acid. I never realised it was this as I only suffered heartburn before, is there any reason I felt such pain in my chest and back and a sore throat. Doctor has put me on zomel 30mg a day for 2 weeks and told me to take gaviscon. I'm a bit worried as he asked me if I had trouble swallowing which I haven't but tonight imagination maybe but I felt as if I had something in my throat. Imagination running riot here as I had a close relative die from oesophagus cancer recently and so I'm a bit scared. If anyone has had this it would be great to hear your story.
