Pain in Chest is Really irritating

  All heart problems have been ruled out!  Chest pains constantly,
  feel better standing, than sitting, worse when laying down.  This
  happens alot after I have eaten on a day to day basis.  Feel full
  for a long time after I eat.  Don't drink at all.  Have been
  under a great deal of stress for last four months, can't sleep
  at all!!!!!  Currently taking Prevacid and muscle relaxors.
  "I" think it's esophageal spasms, what can I do to relieve the
  pain, and get some sleep.  HELP PLEASE!

Dear RWR,
Esophagealcauses of chest pain include esophageal dysmotility problems ( e.g. esophageal spasm) and esophageal reflux.  To evaluate your esophagus as a cause of your pains, it would be necessary to have an upper endoscopy and possibly an esophageal motiltiy study with 24 hr pH probe tests.  these studies will demonstrate whether your pains are originating from the esophagus.
