What Causes Intermittent Chest Pain And Left Sided Back Pain?

I am having pains on my left side under my rib cage that penetrates to my back. I am also having some chest pains off and on. The pain in my side is now radiating to my stomach area. It feels like someone stabbing me. If I hold pressure to the area for a little while, it eases off for a while.

General & Family Physician 's  Response
Hello,

The symptoms seem to be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease.

I suggest using Maalox three times a day which can be found over the counter.

I also suggest using Omeprazole 20 mg daily to lower the acidity in the stomach.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi
