After taking an aspirin based product for a headache, i developed severe, pain in the middle of my breast bone that went clear to the back. After being doubled over in pain for several hours I went to the hospital. Of course they suspected cardiac and admitted me. While there they gave me IV morpine which seemed to increase the pain as did eating. This was the worst pain i have ever had, worse than childbirth. They started me on protonix which seems to help a little but i need to have an endoscopy done to check out my stomach lining. Can an ulcer cause this much severe back and chest pain. It felt like someone poured acid down my throat and was squeezing me at the same time. I have had one episode since being dischared from the hospital after taking an over the counter sinus medication. The pain lasted 2 hours, i was laying in bed reeling in pain that was not relieved with mylanta, i just had to ride it out. Anyone with "stomach problem" or ulcers have anything like this?
