Post tightness in chest and upper back...HELP

Hello,
I've never in my life had upper digestive problems..so this is unusual for me.

What I'm experience is tightness in the upper chest, I suspect this is esophogeal related.. I can also feel the tightness (pain) thru to my upper back.. it's quite painful.. perhaps the tightness are spasms..I don't know..
No stomach pain whatsoever..just this horrible tightness and also somewhat of a lump in my lower throat..

CAN ANYONE ADVISE WHAT THIS IS..OR IF THEY HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS??

The pain in the back is consistent with pain in the large bowel eg wind. Your other symptoms could be anything although if you have a problem somewhere you can get other symptoms elsewhere such as tightness.

I would have it checked out by a doc because tightness in the chest could also be cardiac related. Better be safe, right?

I believe in being safe too. Pain in the Thoracic
area of the body needs to be monitored.
You might want to begin taking your daily pulse and BP and make a Doctors appointment for a check up with respect to your symptoms.
Cardiovascular disease often begins as a twinge.
At first there's not much to go on until a problem progresses.
Early detection of many body problems is really the key
to maintaining good health.
So check with your doctor and keep an eye on vital body signals.
Hopefully all will be well and may the answers for your discomfort be easy.

Gallbladder problems give these symptoms. Do you get it after eating fatty foods or spicy foods? A lot of food is hard to tolerate fot the gallbladder. I have the same symptoms. A diet is the best. But get it checked by a gastro-enterologist
