For The Past Two Weeks, Once Or Twice A Day,

default
Posted on Sat, 13 Oct 2018
Question: for the past two weeks, once or twice a day, normally in the late evening, I will get a dull pain in the middle of my back, that spreads to both sides of my upper sides of my back and then I have a time of burping and discomfort in the very middle of my chest. the burping is over and over and last night I took a gas x pill and it stopped, shortly thereafter. I had a salad for dinner. Life is a bit stressful that this time, however I'm not overwhelmed with anything. It seems to me to be digestive?

want to make certain it is not an emergency type of issue at hand.

thanks

As per your description,it looks like you may have Acid peptic disease.
Upper GI endoscopy will give a clue.Ultrasound abdomen is also helpful in diagnosing Lesions of Liver,Gall bladder, Pancreas,Kidneys etc.Get these 2 investigations by your doctor.
