Have Tearing Pain In Chest Moving To Neck. Treatment?
Hi, I have experienced a ripping/tearing type pain in the Cental chest/back! This sensation feels to move up in to my neck and jaw. I have had 3 episodes in the last couple of months and cannot link the episodes to any common factors, on each occassion the pain has come on suddenly! Sometimes at rest( laying in bed) sometimes during normal activities ( housework etc) . The very 1st time I experienced this pain was 4 yrs ago but I thought it was a one off !!!!!

Hi, thanks for writing to HCM.
From the description, it looks like that the symptoms are either of cardiac cause or Simple Gastroesophageal reflux.
Its always better to get evaluated for a cardiac problem as it could be fatal at times.
Consult a cardiologist to rule out cardiac cause and a physician for GERD.
Hope this helps
