Pains in upper stomach and upper back

Just wondering if anyone could help.  For the last few weeks I have been getting a burning sensation in my upper stomach which then brings on a pain between my shoulder blades.  Sometimes my stomach just feels bloated and uncomfortable.  The burning sensation becomes worse when I eat.  The pain in my upper back can go from a dull ache to feeling like someone is trying to pull my muscles out!

Any ideas?

Sounds like GERD/Reflux to me as well; agree with lisam467.

I'm no expert but it's sounds like indigestion to me.  I had acid reflux one time and all the lower part of my ribs hurt and my chest was aching.  It felt nothing like heartburn but my doctor put me on Somac I think it was? and I felt great within a few days.

Go to your local GP he/she will be able to prescribe you some meds and you feel back to you old self in no time hopefully.  Like I said I'm not an expert, but I went through something similar.
