I've had problems the last few months with a sharp pain in the upper stomach area, right below my breastbone. The center of my chest sometimes also hurts at the same time. It only lasts for about a minute, and once it's gone I'm fine. It always seems to happen right before supper, never before any other meal. It either happens in the first few bites, or right before I start eating.
It first happened to me last summer when I was under a lot of stress, and then one more time in the fall when I was also under a lot of stress. In February, it started bothering me again, and now happens about once a month. I have had problems with acid reflux in the past, so when I went to see my GP in the fall, he suggested it was reflux or gas. When it started happening again this winter/spring, I called my gastroenterologist, and he said it could be acid reflux, but he now wants to do a endoscopy, which I've got scheduled for this Thursday.
Has anybody had these symptoms before?
