Hello All.

Thanks in advance for reading.

I am a 38 yo male living in the UK. About 2 years ago, I had a
endoscopy
done and a esophageal ulcer was found  caused by reflux and I was put
on
30mg of Lansoprazole 2 times a day. A second endoscopy showed that it
was
healing nicley.

For the last six weeks or so I have had the same symptoms but also a
pain
in my breast bone area.

The doc put me on 2 30mg of Lansoprazole per day, 3-4 weeks ago and the
sysmptoms seems to be getting worse.

Went to see my GP again and he is not convinced this is a
ulcer/esophageal issue
as he says the pain in my chest does not sound like an esophageal one
but a more
to do with the chest wall.

The pain I get in my chest is under the breast bone mainly just to the
left
and seems to be getting worse (Over 6 week period now) When I get up, I
feel a cramp pain type feeling and feel it when I take a deep breath or
sometimes just move and catch it. But it is generally there all the
time. However I  ran 3 miles twice last week without any problem.
I also have pains under the arms (on/off but becoming more often).

I get a presure type feeling in my throat/ears and lump type feeling
when
swallowing and throat sensation (Same as I had with the ulcer)

He seems to have no idea and sent me for a chest xray and I get the
results in
about a week.

Any ideas where to go next ?. Could this still be a esophageal issue or
an infection of some kind ? or somthing else ?.

Thanks very much in advance and sorry for being a pain (No pun
intended)

Spence.
