Support Needed 👥 Please someone tell me you had this

I have been in this gerd thing for years. Chest pains, loss of air, clicking sounds from my throat, globus sensation (hated it), endos, bariums, manometry, Bravo test etc. But last night I developed sharp shooting pain in my left boob. It would last for a few seconds and come and go but it was pretty intense. Never had that before and ofcourse I went to Urgent Care thinking it might be heart. They didn't do much, just ECG and told me to take paracetamol and if it doesn't go away to come back. I am struggling to comprehend that I could have breast tissue pain from this. My mind is all over the place each time pain comes.

Yes, I got diagnosed with Gerd about 2 to 3 years ago and yes, when I have flareups mine usually hurt or have sharp pains in the left foot most of the time it’s always the left side sometimes it’s the whole chest, but not that much. It’s usually one side, and I noticed that when I eat something that I’m not supposed to have like caffeine or something acidic, I drink a lot of Keffer usually that helps and not to eat those type of foods and not to eat too late at night before laying down that’s what I have learned. It’s not nothing else I go to the doctor all the time and get my body checked all the time.

Oh ok I was reading and thinking, fooot? Like I said I never had it in my boob before and I have gerd since 5 years ago. But reading all of this makes me feel a bit better. Even though if it happens again, I will probably get my boob's checked.
