chest pain and back itch

Can someone please help me understand if the following are related? I get sharp chest pain when I leaning forward & to the side, itching in my back, in between my solder blades, when I cough, I cough up flem in the mornings.
I have never smoked, but I live in a house with a smoker.
I have been taking a prenatal vitamin as a multivitamin and for the Iron as I slightly anemic with Iron deficiency, I am not pregnant. I stopped taking allergy medicine and headache medicine, with the exception of Bayer Low Dose, about a month ago b/c i was experiencing heart palpitations.
My GP thinks that my chest pain is acid reflux
Any suggestions as to what it is and what i can do?

About ten years ago I moved into a house that had mold but of course I didn't know it at the time. As time went on I was getting sicker and sicker and was in denial that it was the house. It seemed like every day I was getting new symptoms and now I have multiple chemical sensitivities which make it pretty hard to function in the real world. I would try to figure out a way to get out of there as soon as possible befor eyour symptoms become irreversible. There is nothing more important than your health.

Thank you all for your help! I really appreciate it.

To Snupas: my nose is normally open...I do have slight allergies, mostly related to pollen.

To jill1124: I  don't know my vitamin D levels, but I do drink calcium rich milk and for the most part 2-4 bottles of water daily.

To doctornee: thank  you for the welcome. I will look into getting those done. Do you know, aside from moving out of the house, how I can protect my self from the smoke? I most likely should have mentioned before that I am slightly asmatic, its nothing major just slight wheezing and dizziness when around smoke.

Hi
Welcome to the MedHelp forum!
Since you have back itch between shoulder blades and chest pain, possibility of gastric reflux, pancreatitis, gall bladder and liver problems should all be investigated. There is a possibility of chronic obstructive lung pathology due to passive smoking. An ultrasound of abdomen and an X-ray of chest should be done to start with. Possibility of mold in the house causing these symptoms should also be investigated.
Hope this helps. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Please let me know if there is any thing else and do keep me posted. Take care!

Are your vitamin D levels between 50-80 if not you are dehydrated because you cannot absorb calcium properly which leads to dehydration and then anything can go wrong

Is your nose open or blocked? If your nose is blocked then it might be an allergy on something that's why you cough out flem in mornings , shest pain and itching back also explained by above. Acid reflux doesn't have effect on lungs so you wouldn't cough out flex or have itching back.

Ask your doctor to run allergy tests, it might answer all the questions
