A member asked:
Can gastritis present as thoracic back pain that wakes up the patient in the middle of the night for 6 months?

Yes, it may but reflux esophagitis is more common with that presentation. You should see a GI doctor. In the meantime, please practice antireflux measures as a trial: raise the head of your bed at least 10 inches (use 2 blocks of brick), do not eat dinner too full and do not lie down within 2 hours of eating dinner. Take care.

This could be serious infection, or cancer,or pancreatitis, gall stones, gallbladder, disease, a herniated, thoracic disc, or an injury or strain to the thoracic spine and muscles.
