Upset Stomach, Heart Burn, Pain In The Middle Of The Chest, Worse On Being Stressed. Treatment?
My friend told me a very upsetting story this weekend. After she told me, i had a sick feeling in the pit of my stomach. I find it feels like heart burn . It mainly hurts in the middle of my chest . I find its worst when im stressed. I want to learn why and how to cure it. Ive never had this problem since I had a bad break up with my former fiancee.

hi..psychosomatic illness is what we call it..but still you should first visit a gastroenterologist to exclude any acid peptic disorder..after that, visit a psychiatrist for some medication although stress-management skill is what needed for you, for example life-style modification and yoga..psychosomatic disorders respond splendidly to that..so don't worry..stress is just another order of life..you have to just cope with it it..have a good health
