I get that too. Mine is in the sternum. It's kind of tight there. Warm and burning too. That is where mine always acts up. I just don't know how to stop it. I am still waiting to get on the right acid reflux med. For now it's just Tums for me.
 
Hi marissa,

I get pain up through the center of my chest and burning across the top during a flare.

I should note that I have a hiatal hernia which makes my reflux more difficult. I get pain and soreness from the hernia.

I get a burning gnawing like pain underneath the right side breast on the bone.Its years later and still the doctors have no answers for the pain.I had many tests done,to the point where the doctors just gave up on pinning it down.It seems to go thru cycles.I had the pain constantly for 2 yrs 24/7 almost drove me over the edge.Then one morning it mysteriously disappeared for more than a year. Since that time it rears its ugly head for a couple of wks up to a couple months,just to mysteriously disappear again.Very frustrating.I asked my doctor could there be a connection between the pain and that i have gerd.He said no,but if not why does the pain seem to popup when im having a acid flareup?I did find one thing that seems to help me,when the pain pops up.Sturabled onto it by accident,when i was sore from working out the gym.I applied a muscle rub called Theragesic under the breast on the bone.It alleviated the pain enough for me to be able to hold on till it passed again.When i first got the pain i was snowed in at my home for the weekend.I seriously thought something had ripped inside and that i was going to die.I went to a country doctor who told me right away that the pain was called an Esopageal Spasm,put me on meRAB l felt like i was reborn.Since that time my doctor retired ,my insurance dropped him as a participating provider.A slew of doctors later never even mentioned that it could be spasms.Now im trying to research for natural remedies to relax the gut.I noticed that sometimes when i get that pain its accompanied by burping and gas. So i tried Gas X which seemed to help somewhat,but its still not a natural remedy.Looked on the back of the box to findout in the mix it mentions peppermint oil.Which if you know anything about ibs is sometimes recommend for it also.In alot of instances there seems there could be a connection between the two.There are quite a few ppl on here who have both,like me.Peppermint oil caps might be something you might want to look into .Hope this helps.Take care.:wave:
