Hi everyone,

Since this am when I woke up I have had a tight, burning sensation between my breast (sorry!). It hurts to take a deep breath, even drink even water! I have never had acid reflux nor heart burn so I am trying to decide if that's what it is? I have taken some Maalox which took the edge off, but I still feel the pressure. Any help?

Side note last night before bed I took some antibiotics for my tooth ache, and some tylenol w/ codine. I also had some rice yesterday for lunch. Trying to narrow issues here.... =(

The rice could be the issue and depending on the size of the antibiotic but it should have dissolved by now. You may be stuck, I'm not sure because I have never had this happen but if it isn't better in the morning call your dr and see what s/he says.

Are you having trouble swallowing liquids? Nausea? When was the last time you were checked for a band slippage?
