Pressure / Burning Upper Chest - Couple other questions

[Indie5678]

Hi,

Merry Xmas all.

Further to my previous post I have bought an angled pillow to raise my head for acid reflux but I’m still feeling pressure by breast bone by left side. I’ve tried Rennies and Gaviscon but it doesn’t completely get rid of it.

Also I’m getting a tingling / burning side in my left bicep which comes on and off. Anyone else have this, as seems strange to get it in bicep?

I’ve got a GP appointment but not until the beginning of January. Not sure if need to see someone sooner as not really sleeping with it.

Thanks

You might be better off with raising one end of the whole bed if this is possible (though may not be) - there are bed risers on the internet that raise one end of the bed by 20cm.

Does the angled pillow cover your whole torso rather than just your head?

If troublesome you could always call your GP at 8am and ask for a same day emergency appointment.

Yes, covers my whole torso.

GP has said no appointments today so may call 111
