Acid Reflux: If you can positively correlate that belching relieves the backache then you may have acid reflux. Mid back pain can also e due to cardiovascular disease, gstrointestinal disease or conditions of the spine. In a young individual the acid reflux would be most likely. However statistics can not replace a good history and exam. So it will be prudent to see your pcp and discuss it with him/her.
