What Is The Pain In The Mid Chest That Radiated To My Back?
hello Doctor
in the middlse of the night, i woke up with a pain in the centre of my chest. It hurt through to my back (centre). I suffer from mild asthma, so I used my inhaler, but that did not relieve it. I have suffered from costochondritis in the past, but never in the centre of my chest.
What could it be?
Thank you!

Hi and welcome in HCM
I can understand your concern.
According to the history it is better for you to rule out unlikely conditions like GERD.In my opinion asthma does not cause pain.
To determine the cause a fibrogastroscopy is needed to do and when you have the result the specialist gastrohepatologist will advice you further.
Good luck
Thank you
