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?

Yes. I had acid build up that was eating away my stomach caused by stress. But i'm okay now. Just gotta be careful what you eat, drink and take.

Could be your gall bladder. I had the same kind of pain, so I had mine out and I've been 100% ever since!!

Not to worry you, but a friends father use to have a pain a little similar to that, but it was stomach cancer. So maybe it can a good idea to check for that.
