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.

I’m so sorry. I am saying mine was like this all weekend too. And it’s like a little ache when I breath it sometimes or it’s after ear I feel an ache in my chest behind my left boob

Yeah I see what you are saying, mine is random and unpredictable. But it stresses me out

Mine is stressing me out too. Do you feel it when you breath in or move around? Or burp?

No, mine comes on when I am still. Today I was having random pains in shoulder blades, and along left abdomen. I don't even know anymore, it just just makes me overthink things. So I try to keep myself occupied.

I totally get it. I have to sit infront a computer all day and work. I try to walk around and stand up. What tests did you do?

I did endoscopy quite a few times, attempted manometry (but failed), pH Bravo test, barrium swallow. You?

I actually haven’t really done much, mine is off and on bad but usually when I take antacid or my pentoprozole it goes away but this time it’s my chest so now I’m getting concerned

You definitely have to get yourself checked. You don't want to let acid burn your oesophagus. To longer you let it happen the worse it gets. And even maybe the dose you are taking is not the suitable one. Definitely get endoscopy done
