Suggest Treatment For Pressure In Chest And Back Pain

I m having lower right back pain. On and off but mainly throbbing. I had a lot to drink last evening could that be causing this pain? Then I work myself up thinking it something serious and life threatening and am having panic attacks and tightness in my chest.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, drinking alcohol can cause acute gastritis and this can cause chest pressure, pain and back pain.
This kind of pain is even worse by panic, stress and anxiety related GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease).
So better to quit alcohol as soon as possible. It is not a good habit.
Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
Also enroll in deaddiction center where counselor is available.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
