upper back pain

by awingard, May 12, 2008 09:53AM
I have acid reflux and it is contained right now.  No heartburns or nausea.  My question is about back pressure.  After I have eaten bread or fried food(no matter how much), I get a very sharp pain in my upper right shoulder blade and back.  I will have a hard time breathing because of the pain.  When that subsides, my place of pain feels like I have a bubble there.  All I want to do is pop it, there is so much pressure.  I have really cut out a lot of fattening and heavy foods out recently.  But I was wondering what is the reason for this pain.  Last night I had one slice of mushroom pizza, and it flared back up again.  No heartburn.  This morning my pain is gone, but now I have a numbing feeling in place.  Am I allergic to something or is this another symptom of acid reflux?  Or completely something else?  I want to visit my family doctor about this, but I wanted to see what you had for an idea at what it might be.
