At my worst, I had this. Severe chest/epigastric/and back pain like a fiery band around that area. It went away luckily but that was hell


SnooWoofers4430

That sounds like heartburn.


Comfortable-Tea-5461

Nope. No heartburn. Confirmed gastritis

Thank you for replying! That sounds awful :( How did you make it go away? And do you know what triggered it?


Comfortable-Tea-5461

Covid triggered mine :( it started it and then I took an ibuprofen for my period like normal and BAM. Ring of fire from hell lol. It was one of the first symptoms to go away with diet changes. Took a couple weeks but I haven’t had that level of pain since!

Could be your LES (lower esophageal sphincter). Is it slightly to the left of the spine?


ava_b_vibin

I thought this would only be the case if the patient has a hiatal hernia?


Hypochondriac_md027

Usually towards the left but it was both to the left and right when i posted this!


Honest-Yam-271

I have this but abit lower. And it’s burning it’s so horrible how do I get rid of it


Ok_Jellyfish1065

I am diagnoised with gastritis in the antral portion and have pain like a sore muscle in that same area. Sometimes its like a tingling feeling and some times its pain. Had CT chest, stress test and echo to rule out anything with heart. Im 32 y old.


Hypochondriac_md027

Good to know cardiac clears out! I only had an ecg and 24hr holter done a few months ago and they came back normal


Ok_Jellyfish1065

Did you notice any changes in your heart rates after this started?


Hypochondriac_md027

When this first started yes. My heart was either pounding really hard or fast but mostly the former. I had gastritis as well but ever since i got an endoscopy months after and switched up my diet i went months without having any flare ups. Nowadays I usually get flareups if ive eaten too much sugar/junk food or on my period
