Hi  Was wondering if you could advise me. I have been getting pains for a few months just in behind the centre of my rib cage, It feels a bit like some sort of cramp and is quite tender to touch. i went to the doctors a month or so ago and they gave me co-codamol 30/500. these did help although only masked the pain. It is giving me alot of worry as its been going on for a long time.
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Central chest pain is commonly caused by HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and Costco Chat Doctor.  But better to first rule out heart related chest pain. So get done ECG, 2d echo and stress test (trade mill test). If all these are normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Do following things for better symptomatic relief in HERD and Costco
