I've been having some off and on pain in the center of my chest - right between my breasts - that feels like it's right behind my ribs. Sometimes the pain - which is dull, not sharp - feels like it's traveling up to my throat. Sometimes it's more pressure or tightness than pain. Burping (weird, I know) can make it feel a bit better, but not go away.
I'm 25 years old, but overweight. My biolgocal father died of a massive heart attack, but other than that, there's no family history of heart problems. I'm actually not convinced it *is* my heart, since it's the center of my chest. Perhaps my Esophagus? I don't get the burning pain very often, though, where I need to take Tums. Can digestional issues cause this pain?
I'm going to call my doctor tomorrow, but until then - any thoughts?
