Hi everyone.

I'm am male 32 and have started having symptoms that have got me worried. Basically it started with right sided chest pain when I hiccup or burp which has passed but now it feel like when I swallow food goes down slower and I can feel it alot more than I remember. The area where the pain was does twinge every so often. I have also started getting alot of discomfort/pain right side between shoulder blades and spine. I don't know whether this is pulled muscles or worse. I also bealch quite alot. I have been to the docs and he said I must try some medication for acid for a few weeks and did not seem overly concerned. I do worry about my health quite alot. Any advice would be great thank you.

I agree with your doctor on this. Could be acid indigestion/reflux so give the drugs a go.

I will give them a go but I don't feel like i suffer with acid/heartburn. Is this cancer common in 30s?

Not common at all but acid/reflux is VERY common.
