my name is michelle, I am 37 and do take meds. for high bloodpressure, mgraines, depression and pinched nerves. in the last few months I have not been well. it started with losing my voice five times within three months. then severe pain through my chest and ribcage. I saw my dr, they said acidreflux. put me on steroids and I have not lost my voice in a month or so but now I am having pain tingling and numbness under my left breast in my ribs under left breast. very uncomfortable
Hi, Acid reflux and its severe forms can cause chronic pain lasting for months. As a first line of management, you can take antacids like Pantoprazole or Omeprazole for symptomatic relief. Avoid hot and spicy foods also. If symptoms are severe, you can consult a gastroenterologist and plan for an endoscopy. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
