What Causes Pain In Chest Radiating To Upper Mid Back?
Question: Q last night in bed I experienced a stabbing chest pain mid sternum radiating around to upper mid back.
Both very sharp, which stayed no matter which way I lay, or stood up.
I belched a bit to try to relieve it, but it subsided an hour or so later.
I am very tired during the day.
I also have a knee needing repair, and my gait has changed whilst trying to protect the left knee.

Hyperacidity??
