What could be the reason for my upper midsection back part of my body hurt its really sore some times my chest will hurt in the middle. When I smoke pot or ciggerets it seems to hurt even more. I ve seen a cardiologist and they said my heart is fine so that s good , but I don t know what s wrong. I ve also been to the gastroenteritis . They said that look good except for having abnormal cells and they said its E O E so I have to go find out what I m allergic too. so I thought I would give u a background of what s going on with me.
Hi Michelle, If your cardiologist says that your heart is normal and pain is not because of cardiac cause then another common cause of chest pain and upper back pain are-one is gastritis i.e. increased acid secretion in your stomach which causes chest discomfort or pain second is musculoskeletal like degenerative disc disease which is more seen in smokers.think you should go to orthopedic surgeon and get your upper back (thoracic spine) x-ray done.nevertheless remember one thing that though, today if don't have cardiac cause of chest pain your heart is definitely at risk if you continue smoking
