(((hugs))) I'm sure it does hurt ALOT!!!! I can almost feel it from afar...

I am also NOT a doctor...

but my pain in the middle of my chest was from my esphogus and a hialtial hernia ( I know spelling LOL)...
lots of pain.... had to go to hospital, have a test to look at it all - they put on meds to counter the acid....the hernia hurts like you wouldn't believe every once in a while.. I didn't want surgery on it yet - not till I'm done with this ED - might do worse damage during recovery from surgery if I still have the ED...

Please go get it checked out by professional...

Sincerely,freewill
