What is this cheast Pain?

For the last few days I have had this strong annoying burning in my lower chest, above my stomach.  It's like a very strong heartburn.  With have been body aches, slight headaches, trouble sleeping.  The main part is the feeling in the middle of my chest.  Food brings it on worse, but it is this annoying feeling while i'm just sitting.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

The pain could be due to peptic ulcer disease. Peptic ulcer pain is usually a burning pain. They commonly occur in the stomach and duodenum. Stomach ulcers cause pain on eating and duodenal ulcers cause pain on fasting (2-3 hrs after eating). Peptic ulcers are eroded areas in the lining of the digestive tract usually in the stomach and duodenum. The two common causes for this are: infection with helicobacter pylori and use of non steroidal  anti inflammatory medications (NSAID). So for the ulcer to heal and to reduce acid levels  avoid NSAID's, quit smoking, eliminate alcohol and reduce stress levels. OTC antacids and antibiotics to treat H pylori further aid in therapy. Please consult your primary care physician for proper assessment.

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
