I have been having severe constant aching in upper back and chest area. Also, sporadic pains sharp pains (same place). I have had a CT scan, chest x-ray, MRI w/contrast, and I just had an abdominal ultrasound (yesterday-no news on that as of yet). My cardiologist does not think it is my heart. My PCP gave me PPIs. I have tried Prevacid, Nexium, and am now on Prilosec. Nothing helps. I am scared.

Other causes of chest pain include:1. Any pathology in the cardiovascular or respiratory system.2. Costco Chat Doctor.  Short-term, sudden anxiety with rapid breathing4. Pain from the digestive tract, such as esophageal reflux, it will be better to consult a Doctor & get a physical examination done to rule out other causes. So that proper management steps could be taken. Wishing you a Good Health. Thanks & take care.
