You could be having constipation. Our bowels/ colon takes up a good section of our body. I was having the same problems and recently went to my gastroenterologist. He told me my bowels were impacted. This is no joke or laughing matter either. I was very sick and in alot of pain. There were several times I thought I'd better get to a hospital. You might want to see your primary dr. and see what he/she says. ttfn

I'm a nurse this is lung problems, you need to see a doctor. It could also be related to nerve pain/damage or muscle spasms. This is serious and your body is warning you. Take care

It sounds like you could have an esophageal problem. You may have a hiatal hernia or a problem related to GERD. The pain in your back could be referred pain from your esophagus. You need to see a doctor about it because although unlikely if you are not a drinker or smoker, it could be a tumor in your esophagus or upper stomach.
In the meantime, eat only very small meals, frequently. Stay away from spicy and gassy foods. If you are taking any medications (like for osteoporosis or NSAIDs) call your doctor and ask if you should continue them. If taking other pills, be sure you are taking a drink of water before you attempt to swallow them, and wash them down with a full cup of water.
You can try taking some Mylanta after your meals and at bedtime. Sleep with the head of your bed elevated, either the bed up on wood blocks, or put something under the mattress to raise the head. Sleep up on a couple pillows and do not eat a heavy meal before bedtime.
Avoid all alcohol, soda, caffeine. Stop smoking if you do.
When you see your doctor, take a list of the measures you tried (those mentioned above) and let him/her know if they helped at all.
