Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the back in the thoracic area could be a muscular pain, neurologic pain, hiatus hernia or related to acute gastritis. To find out the exact cause, an MRI of the area and endoscopic examination is recommended.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
