Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been having a strange feeling in the center of my back...spine about chest high. there is no pain or tingly feeling, just a strange feeling that i can notice that is hard to explain. its not a big deal during the day, but when i lay down to sleep it is noticeable and hard to not think about. when i stretch that part of my back or crack it, i get a weird feeling in my chest and it makes me cough sometimes. there is also a bubbly feeling that occurs in my chest often.. almost like a small pop you get when you start to burp on purpose. i do not experience any pain unless i run.. then it feels like someone is stabbing me in the chest. also, sometimes when i take a deep breath it feels like i was just swimming and it makes me cough. any help would be appreciated. thank you!
I will advise MRI spine to see for any nerve compression leading to upper back pain.
Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
I will advise to check your vit B12 and vit D3 level.
Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Take care.
