What Causes Pain In The Right Shoulder While Having Acid Reflux Disease?
I have problems with reflux from time to time. Usually when stressed. Yesterday I ate lots of homemade tablet which is made mainly from sugar and fat and last night developed a pain, like indigestion. Today I have the same pain in my right shoulder which feels like trapped wind. Any ideas? Thank you

Hi welcome to the health care magic
You seems to be having pain because of acid reflux as you have positive history of it
Try to avoid stress and smoking
For reflux disease you can take pantoprazole tablet for two weeks...
Avoid excess spicy foods
While sleeping elevate your head by putting pillow
Chocolate, coffee etc avoided in excess
Loose weight if obese
If no improvement than endoscopy needed for further work up
Consult physician or gastroenterologist for examination and discuss all these
Take care
