Had A Sudden Stabbing Pain In Lower Back, Dizziness, Tremors, Pressured And Dizziness. What Is Wrong?

I m 28 and last night I had a stabbing sudden pain in my lower back leg, 15 minutes later that same sudden stabbing pain happened in my upper chest . Followed minutes later was dizziness and tremor like shaking. I didnt seek any medical attention. I rested and all the pain and dizziness went away, however I had nausea for an hour after all that. I went to sleep and awoke today with no pain, just slight soreness in leg. Any ideas? I am under pressure at work with project deadlines (I sit all day long as an engineer). I also am 6 0 tall, 210 lbs, have never had a health problem. Family history of heart problems, but nothing until after 50.

Hi,
Thanks for writing your query.

After reading your post, it seems that your symptoms might be due to increased acidity in the stomach, which might be due to stress.

You can take antacid like Omeprazole 40 mg once a day before breakfast along with Domperidone 10 mg.

Following precautions will be helpful :-
1. Avoid spicy/oily foods.
2. Do not miss a meal.
3. Avoid mental/emotional stress.
4. Drink lot of pure water daily.
5. Avoid smoking/alcohol, if any.

Doing yoga and meditation and exercising in fresh air in the morning can help you in dealing with stress. Always lead a positive life.

I hope this is helpful to you.
Thanks.
