Is this acid reflux pain? If so, home remedies?
I woke up today with horrible chest and back pain. I know I have acid reflux, but I’ve never had chest or back pain. The back pain is right in between the bottoms of my shoulder blades, and the chest pain is right between my breasts, and a little lower down. Moving certain ways hurts, I cant breath to deep without pain, and belching makes my back hurt worse.
Anything I can do to calm this? I’ve already taken the max amount of tums with no help.
I also feel like I cant breath after belching and it makes me nauseous… cant breath too deep without it hurting badly

Hi Star.
Sorry about your acid reflux.
Yeah, its the pits.
The only thing I know that makes any difference at all once it gets going is alka seltzer, then sit up for a half hour or so. If you don’t have any, you might try baking soda in water, per directions on the box.
You need to elevate your head when you go to bed.
Extra pillows, positioned to slant your whole body, head highest, or prop up the head of your bed. Sometimes I sleep in a recliner to get the angle steep enough.
Don’t eat anything before you go to bed. You will have to experiment with how many hours before.
For some reason, eating an apple in early evening seems to help.
See your doctor, to get prescription acid reducers.
You need to get this under control, as there are possible severe long term consequences if it is untreated.
Good luck.
