Pain between shoulder blades & in neck and digestive problem - please help!

A couple of days ago I started getting a bit of twinge between my shoulder blades, and assumed it was from carrying a heavyish rucsack to work and back for a few days. Yesterday, I noticed that when I drank I was getting a pain in my chest; more specifically about halfway down to my stomach. It feels like either the tube is narrower or it's inflamed, and so causing me pain. I have had a few digestive (stomach ulcer) issues in the past.

However, today the pain has spread from my back into the right side of my neck and shoulder, and it hurts to swallow food.

I'm guessing (or rather hoping) that this is another digestive issue. Does anyone have any advice please? I've tried Googling but not had much success. Thanks.

It could be oesophagitis especially if you've previously had gastric problems. You need to see your GP for diagnosis and medication; you could ask a pharmacist for advice as to what would be best to take until then.

Oh yes, didn't think of speaking to a pharmacist. Will try that in the morning, thanks Pink
