Hi. I am 22 years old. Having problem of chest and upper back pain for over 5 years.In the pursuit of the solution to my problem I have consulted with dozens of doctors. Almost all of them have said that its not a big deal do not you worry and just prescribe some omeprazole tablets. Recently one said its a normal condition known GERD. But how could be this a normal thing that has impaired my life because its disturbing me almost every second day. My problem actually is that: there is pain started in my chest. I do not know� where, is it stomach or heart or liver I do not really know but there is a pain in the middle of me chest and then it spread up to my throat and the upper back. This is a scene of almost every other day with only some gaps of may be a week.� it often happens at night and some time i am the morning. But the pain is too severe that I can not sit properly nor I can lay straight in bed. Along with the chest and throat pain� my upper back pain is so severe that Even I can't have a seat support that hurts with an ugly pain when my back touches the chair support or my bed. Some times the pain goes after an hour or two, some times it lasts for 5 to 6 hours totally disturbing my routine life. Medication: I have used omeprazole 40 mg most of the time as most of the doctors prescribed this. But now for a month I am on medication prescribed by a doctor for GERD.� That is. 1.Zantec 150 mg once a day before going to bed. 2. Itopride Hydrochloride 50 mg Current situation The doctor said you have to do some exercise daily but am already an active boy, I do moderate exercise and 10 thousands steps of walking each day. Before starting this one month regime for GERD the scene was that I was encountering the same painful� situation everyday mostly in the morning.� Its been 2nd week of Starting these medication and there was no pain except a mild pain for 2 to 3 times for half of an hour probably.� But the problem is that its again becoming the daily torture for me. Its now 3rd day that have the pains in the morning with the same intensity and interval of 2 to 5 hours. I am using the medications and extremely conscious with my diet and avoid all sorts of things that is not good for stomach specifically in the problem of so called GERD. Mu question What is it? What the hell is going wrong with me ?� Can I ever get rid of this so called normal conditions by the doctors? Because these so called normal conditions have destroyed my life. What should I do?
