Pain radiating from the middle of your back to your chest and up to your jaw. Is it acid reflux?
Is it normal to have pain radiating from the middle of your back to the front and up to your jaw from acid reflux? If I drink milk the pain subsides.
Hi Connie,
It is possible that the pain you are feeling is acid reflux, however as Dr Todd Eisner points out in this sharepost, you need to see your doctor to eliminate the possibility of a cardiac issue. Excerpted from Dr. Eisner's posting:
"Finally, other non-cardiac or non-esophageal causes of chest pain need to be considered as well. It can be very scary having chest pain, as people usually think that it is coming from the heart. Check with your doctor about what the next step in your evaluation should be."
Remember, online sites are great resources for getting the information you need to ask all the right questions. But they should never take the place of your doctors solid medical advice.
Take care and stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!
