What could this pain be?

tumblelord · 2019-10-21T19:16:24+00:00

- Constant dull pain in chest. It is always in the middle area of the chest, sometimes more on the left and other sides more on the right. - Other symptoms were wind, acid reflux, nausea, stomach and back pain but Omeprazole has mostly stopped these symptoms although there is still a lot of burping going on. - Currently waiting for gallbladder removal surgery. - Blood test, ECG, blood pressure, etc all came back normal. No scans or x-rays done yet. - Doctors think it's probably a gastric issue but haven't ruled out a respiratory problem. What could this be?

Could be this - www.nhs.uk/conditions/costochondritis/

Helicobacter?

Does it hurt to apply pressure??

Er...if you're waiting for gallbladder removal, surely the chest pain is related to that? Gallstones.

I second @bestbefore on the costondritis- I had as much pain with that during flare ups as when I had broken ribs

Totally agree. The pain can be immense!! Mine comes and goes depending on stress levels wierdly. I guess I tense up, and subsequently trigger an episode. The pain is sickening!!
