What Causes Constant Pain In The Chest And Back?

I ve been having chest pains and back pains for the past two days. It feels like a stabbing or like someone is just punching me in the chest. It stopped for a couple hours yesterday then started again. Is this just a cause from gas stuck in my chest area?

Hello dear. Most common possibility is you might be having gastritis. Kindly consult your physician who may prescribe you tablets like pantop, omez or rantac, and antacids gel. Some of the tips i would like to suggest you to follow on regular basis is

1. Do not eat spicy food
2. Take medications without fail as prescribed by your doctor
3. Take little food at frequent intervals. Breakfast around 8am, small snack at 11am, lunch at 1pm, small snack at 4pm and dinner at 8pm
4. Drink plenty of water
5. Do not take much of stress. Stress aggravates gastritis
6. Do regular exercise. Atleast half an hour per day
7. Learn meditation techniques
8. Follow this regularly for 21 days. It is said that anything you practice regularly for 21 days becomes a habit

Apart from this we also need to rule out possibility of anginal pain. Kindly get an ECG done. Consult your doctor who may also suggest TMT test, ECHO in case he/she wants additional information.

Hope i have answered your question. Feel free to contact me if you have any more questions. I ll be glad to help you.
All the best
With warm regards
