garypayton 14 Posted October 10, 2019 Hi everybody, i'm sorry to open another thread but right now i'm really scared. I would like to know if any of you have ever had these symptoms. As I wrote in another post, I'm probably suffering from acid reflux. some types of symptoms have decreased since I take PPI (10 days), but there is one that terrifies me: chest pain. It happened to me in some moments of the day, especially when I wake up, to have a strange and strong pain behind the sternum, exactly in the middle of the pectorals. I'm going to the gym, so sometimes I thought it might be a muscle or bone problem, but it's clear that it's more likely a reflux problem. it Changes in intensity during the day. The thing that scares me and confuses me is that the pain changes according to certain movements, for example if I close my shoulders forward, or if I rest my arms on the chair to pull myself up. Has anyone suffering from reflux ever had this kind of pain? I am terrified of having a mass growing behind my chest, in the esophagus. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SurferJoe 11 Posted October 10, 2019 If you have reflux, I think what you could be feeling is gas pain in your chest. I don't have reflux, but I have had similar sounding pain and I was told it was probably gas. I think could be why it changes when you move. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
garypayton 14 Posted October 10, 2019 i really don't know what it is...but it's scary and makes me immediately think about esophageal cancer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vandelsrock21 104 Posted October 10, 2019 Hey Gary the pain wouldn't change would body position. It most likely gas pain or heart burn pain. Even muscle skeletal issue. Nothing dangerous Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
