Suggest Remedy For Upper Back Pain, Heartburn And Tingling Ears

Hi Doc, I m having really bad pains in my upper back. I have lower back issues but nothing like this. It started bothering me yesterday. This morning I woke up and my right arm is hurting along with the back pain, also the reason I woke up is heartburn. Every time I eat or drink heartburn persist. My ears are ringing I don t know if that is related but thought I would tell you. I am a 42 y/o male no medical history other than knee surgery. Thank you. Should I go to ER.

Hi Dear ,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of upper back pain, heartburn and tingling ears. Well heartburn is very common problem. It seems to be due to release of oesophageal sphincter and excessive production of acid by stomach. The symptoms can also occur due to cervical spondylosis , TMJ problem or herinated disc . It could be due to lifestyle related as well. Need not to worry. Treatment of acid reflux depend upon taking medicine and alteration in lifestyle. You should take plenty of fluids. I would suggest you to avoid spicy and heavy meal specially at night. Eat at least one hour before going to bed, take a light walk for 15-20 mins after every meal , take antacid after every meal like gelusil. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and start treatment after complete prescription. Avoid taking outside food. Doctor may also refer you to orthopedic surgeon .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
