Tenderness In the Middle of My Chest And Stomach Cramping Posted: 08-30-06 04:03am
I am a 49 yo male. For about the last
year I have been experiencing tenderness
all the time in the middle of my chest
around the top of my stomach and also
cramps in the stomach area. I have bouts
of belching not necessarily after food or
liquid. I have been prescribed high doses
of losec and other anti-acid drugs with no
change. I have had the tube down my
throat and everything seems normal. I
don't noticeably have any heartburn but
sometime experience a funny taste. I
don't know if this has got anything to do
with it but when I sneeze my left lower
ribs hurt. I have maintained a low blood
pressure and tests on my heart came up
fine. I sleep like a log and the pain is
at it's least when I wake up. I sometimes
experience a sharp pain higher in my
throat. Any ideas anyone?

I have the same thing! It has been
happening for about 3 months though. I am
a 25 yr old female with no major medical
problems. I haver the tenderness in
center of my chest and pain in my lower
left rib sometimes. I was diagnosed with
gerd which makes sense but now I have
pressure in my ribs and back which I
believe must be gas because I don't have
it all the time. I was given a
prescription for nexium but it is to
expensive. When I hiccup sometimes it
hurts so bad and I have burning in my
throat and the taste is funny. I hope all
of my symptoms are related to gerd and not
like cancer or something- anyone have the
same problem?

The difference between your symptoms and
mine are that I have never had any feeling
of acid in my throat. Most of the
symptoms you describe are quite common and
it is more than likely not serious.
However if you are worried just pop back
and see your doctor.
