Chest pressure

[Kaede]

I'm not sure whether chest pressure is the correct description. Ir's this feeling under my sternum. It kinnda feels like there is gas stuck there and a really good burp would release it, but the ones I have had don't help. I woke up with it this morning and it came back around 3 p.m. also had a strong feeling if this on Sunday.

Does your anxiety/reflux chest pain feel like this?

To be clear, I don't think it's something sinister, but I am just wondering. I am waiting for an appointment with a psychologist re my anxiety and got some tablets from GI in case this is reflux.

Is there anyway to releave this feeling?

Sounds like reflux... You can try some OTC relief like Maalox or Gas-X. Can't hurt.

Thanks for the reply.

I had an appointment and it seems to have passed sometimes during so I suppose it could be just anxiety.

I have some pills for reflux though so I suppose I will give it a try to see if that is the culprit here.

I had this back in the summer. I was prescribed 40mg Omeprazole first for 2 months which did nothing. Doctor switched me to 30mg Lansoperazole and it felt easier within a few days. After a month on the Lansoperazole it disappeared altogether. I'm now off the PPi's and this only comes back if I eat too much Fatty/Spicy/Citrus food.
