Answer 3

Upper back and shoulder are due to one or both of being mis-aligned (see chiropractor) or muscles (see massage therapist) more below

Heartburn occurs when there is an irritation in the upper part of the stomache getting up into the esophagal sphincter muscle keeps the sphincter open allowing reflux.

Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas (natural muscle relaxers) daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.

Answer 4

The pain is due to beginning of peptic ulcer. Be careful and when ever you get this symptom, use Digene tablets or any tablets which we can neutralize the effect of Acidity. Do this immediately.
