Pressure And Pain On Waist And Back And Also Having Acid Reflux. Are They Related?
For about 3 weeks I have had a pressure and slight pain at my left waist and even a bit towards the back. I also suffer from acid reflux and have had a recent flair up. Could this pain be related to that and what should I do to relieve it? Thank you so much.

Dear sir/madam. Acid reflux may have such symptoms but to exclude a cardiac problem ,that is called angina you should undertake some simply test like ECG,cardiac echo, blood tests, a stress test too . If these tests result negative this pain probably is related to acid rerlux. Thank you for your question, all the best
