Pain in the middle under my chest

I am 12 days post op and the only pain I get is in the middle under my breast. At the top above my abdominal area about three inches. It's a sharp pain that last about 30 seconds. Oh boy it hurts, I just want to know has anyone experienced this pain. It's no specific time when it hurst or after, before I eat, walking just confused

I went to the ER with something like that a few years ago. I thought I was having a heart attach, so asked my wife to drive me in. Turned out to be heartburn. You're probably ok, but if it's really bad and/or if you have an irregular heartbeat, then it's never a bad idea to go to the ER.

My daughter has that pain. Had it since the day of her surgery and never had those symptoms before surgery. Diagnosis is acid reflux. She says it feels like a heart attack and very painful indeed! She takes script Nexium daily. That has helped. Discuss with your doc, but I would not be surprised if that is not the same issue for you. Try over the counter antacid when you get that pain, or better yet take some about 1/2 hr before you eat and see if that resolves your problem.

It could be heart burn but chest pain is not something to play around with. Call your physician.

I had surgery 13 days ago and I have a very similar pain. I'm not sure what is it either. It may be just the healing process or something you ate. Hope it goes away soon!
