Question

Severe pain in chest and upper back/shoulders...coming in waves but not necessarily in stomach or lower back, just upper. I don't feel like my stomach is tightening but my main focus is the pain in the upper parts of my chest/back. 
Is this gas or heartburn? I'm starting to worry. Can't hardly breathe through it, adjusting or changing positions isn't helping.

Answer

Heartburn doesn't normally come in waves like that. You could take a Tums if you have them handy to be sure.
I'd go ahead and call your obs after hours number. Contractions are normally in waves and difficult to talk through, but it is an odd location.

Answer

I get back spasms that course similar symptoms. The first time it happened I honestly thought i was having a heart attack. My back and chest (all the way around) get really tight and it hurts to move and or breathe. I can feel the tightening in my back but it radiates all across my chest. Luckily I haven’t had one in a while but it is extremely distressing. 
If it is persistent and doesn’t go away I would go to urgent care or ER ASAP.

Answer

Gallbladder pains..?

Answer

I was in the ER for something very similar on Tuesday, they really couldn’t figure out what it was, I’ve spent 3 days resting and it seems to be better now, the doctor thinks it could be stress related but it is really just a guess.

Answer

Please don’t ignore chest pains. Go to the ER.

Answer

I've had similar pains and even went to the ER for it once... They couldn't give me an answer. My last visit they found I was anemic and since I've started taking iron these episodes of pain decreased for me. I still have pain like that from time to time, I did some research and I'm thinking I could have gallstones, I'm planning on asking my doctor about it in my next appointment! Hope this helpa
