Sounds a lot like acid reflux, try buying some Ranitadine or Gaviscon and see if it helps. I get pain in my stomach and going through to my shoulder blades often and have reflux, like a sharp knife like pain

The strange thing is, this seems to be much more common than it ever was. Or maybe I just missed the posts about it?
Even my daughter mentioned about having this recently.
I wonder what's going on?
