What Causes Pain Between The Breasts?

I have pain in the center of my chest area between my breast and under my breast, it moves to my upper back and a times goes into my jaw. The pain comes and goes, This discomfort is accompanied with burping and gas. I was diagnosed with reflux several years ago and I currently take 40 mg of Walgreens brand oparmazole daily. The past month this has gotten worse. Drinking water seems to help but i have to drink a lot of water. What is wrong with me?

Hi,

You may be suffering from Gastritis with acid reflux disease. Pain may be cardiac origin also. which is confirmed by ECG and echo cardiography. Avoid spicy food and alcohol avoid smoking and caffeine drinks. Use tablet Nexium before breakfast for one week. If symptoms not improved please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you accordingly.
