What Causes Abdominal Spasms Along With Tightness In Chest?

hi there, I recently received some PPI s for inflammation of the stomach, have been taking them for 2 days now, the abdominal pain will come on strong for 5-10 seconds, then subside for a couple minutes, and repeat, it almost disappeares if I am laying on my back however, I have now also experienced tightness and pain in my right chest/shoulder and side of my neck, want to know what this could be, the gastritis is from advil on an empty stomach. 20 year old male, 185lbs 6 tall.

Hello dear Greetings
Regarding your experience with abdominal pain that wax and wean following intake of proton pump inhibitors I am suggesting that you have developed a peptic ulcer disease

In view of this please do an endoscopy to rule out this condition

Meanwhile please see a gastroenterologist specialist with the result and for further clinical assessment and adequate drug prescription

Concerning your tightness at your right chest with radiating pain to the shoulder and neck I will suggest the following differential diagnosis

Angina pectoris
Myocardial ischaemia
Coronary vasospasm
Costochondritis
Acute chest syndrome

Please do the following test
Chest x-ray
ECG
EKG
Coronary angiography

Meanwhile please see a cardiologist specialist with the results and for expect management

Moreover please take some analgesic pending your appointment

I hope this helps Regards
