Having Chestpain, Backpain. X-ray, EKG Normal. No Help From Vicodin. Diagnosis?
Hello I have been having mid chest/right side of chest and back pain for over a week. It sometimes varies between being a sharp, shooting, or throbbing pain. Lung x rays were good, ekg was good. No other pain except those areas of mid/right chest and back. Been on Vicodin for a week and it offers no relief. Any possible diagnosis or close would be great.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the middle of the chest with a normal ECG is likely to be related to chronic gastritis or a hiatus hernia. Since Vicodin is not helping you, you can try taking omeprazole available over the counter for symptomatic relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
