[|Human|] Thanks. I have been waking up at night with bad pain and pressure in the upper abdomen about 3 times a week for about 2 months. I also have some lower back pain and trouble getting enough air into my lungs. Acid reducers, such as alka selzer, work for a little while. But the pain comes back. The pain was so bad this morning I was about to have my husband bring me to the ER. Then we did the alka selzer and I had relief for about an hour. Then the pain gradually started to come back.
[|AI|]  Hi welcome to Chat Doctor forum.  Thanks for choosing Chat Doctor. F.  You are waking up with bad pain and pressure in upper abdomen for 2 months. Lower back pain and air hunger.  It appears that you have gastric hyperacidity, or sleep apnea, due to some silent heart problem, and backache could be due to spondylosis or gastric pain itself.  I advise you to consult a physician for diagnosis and treatment. You may have to go for gastrostomy, E.C.G. besides other routine tests for confirmation.  Wishing for a quick recovery.  Best regards.
