It sounds similar to gallbladder trouble. I had several smalls attacks and I thought I had just overdone it. Like one time we went bowling and I thought maybe I pulled some muscles bowling. I used to put a heating pad on my chest and sometimes my back too. I even went to the hospital with one episode and they told me I had chest wall inflammation and sent me home. I was actually having a test done to look for something else and they found out I was full of gall stones. I ended up having it removed and I have never had that pain again. I would get it checked out soon because if it is gallbladder, it will only get worse. Let us know what you find out.

I love to have dingbat friends!!!! so of course we can still be friends I'm glad they've finally found the problems and are able to fix it. Try sleeping on your left side ...it helps me. I sent you an e-mail, but for anyone else "listening" in on this conversation....I've got a hiatal hernia too, but I don't have too many problems with it unless I sleep on my right side (the acid pools in the right side of the stomach and moves up through the esophogus...whether you do or do not have a band) and that's one of the causes of reflux...I had it before...less so since the band. The only other time I might have problems is if I eat no-no's like Oreos...there's something about the mix of sweet and fat that sets me off. Stirring up ****I really don't care.....please refer to my response to Alyssa... Basically speaking I don't have much patience for people who flame just to flame...it's stupid and sophomoric.........and I'm a long time past high school. Smile...relief is just a short while away! Hugs, Anita
