This is not happening right now but happened last week. Sharp severe pain at sternum, radiated to the back. Felt nausus, need to go to the bathroom, very pain, dizzy, clamy. The pain subsided and within 5 minutes was gone. Later had loose stool that was greeny/yellowy. Took me a few days to feel better but had vertigo. Everything is normal now. This happened last Thursday.
helloWelcome to Chat Doctor. Sharp severe pain in chest radiating to back with nausea and loose stools. It may be cardiac related/gastroesophageal reflux disease/pancreatitis. This calls for undergoing certain tests, especially important if your age is more than 40 years. I advise fasting blood glucose, blood lipids, blood pressure measurement, electrocardiogram. If the pain was associated with breathing difficulty and sweating or anxiety, it can be cardiac related. Above investigation will rule out cardiac cause and related risk factor. Further management will depend upon results of these tests. Once cardiac cause is ruled out, it is possibility it can be HERD. If you have burning sensation in chest especially on taking food, it indicates it may be HERD. It can be taken care of by PPI's like omeprazole once a day for couple of days. If you have alcohol addiction, possibilty of pancreatitis need to be ruled out by thorough abdominal examination by an expert and doing serum pancreatic enzyme levels. I would advise you to visit physician for all above things and not ignore the chest pain. Hope I answered your query.
