What Causes Sharp Pain In Upper Stomach And Between Breasts?

I am having sharp stabbing pains at the very top of my stomach right below my breasts in the middle. I wake up at night hurting and feeling full. When I eat I feel like I cant breath. The pain is getting worse. I was told many years ago that I had a hiatal hernia. Please help. Pain is getting worse and hurting in my back as well

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

I read carefully your query and understand your concern.

Your symptoms seem to be related to gastroesophageal reflux disease.
I suggest using a PPI medication such as Omeprazole daily in the morning before breakfast.
I also suggest using antacids such as Maalox three times a day.
I recommend to avoid food that can trigger the symptoms such as spicy food.

Hope my answer was helpful.

If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.

Kind regards!
