What Causes Pain In The Middle Of The Chest?
Hi, may I answer your health queries right now ? Please type your query here... I have GERD and have pain in the mid chest as well. Pressure applied to the chest is painful. The pain is almost constant. Can this be costochondritis or could it be related to GERD? Thank you.

Hello
Thank you for asking.
GERD is one of the main causes for chest pain.According to the history you already suffered from GERD. I do not think that is costochondritis.
You have to take some medications for GERD like antiacids in the dose the specialist prescribe them to you.
The diet is very important too.No smoking no alchohol,no spicy food the dinner will be early ,you have to use two pillows during the sleep.
If you will be careful i am sure you will feel better shortly.
Take care.
Thank you
