Sternum and upper stomach pain after PFA

It is tough to get the right answers sometimes. I feel for you. I recently have started having heart problems, diagnosed with bradycardia and have to wait til August to see a cardiologist. It is so frustrating!
But I have started having constant dull aching pain along my back. It's not heart or lung related. I finally figured out that it is gastritis. Something, probably meds, have weakened my stomach lining. Doc has put me on Omeprazole for acid reflux (which I didn't have any symptoms like that) but research through AI (since doctors are so limited in what they can actually do) has given me a specific diet to do for 2 weeks. It is supposed to help me to reset my issue. It is very strict diet... Very bland, very boring but I am hoping to see results. I hope you find relief. Best wishes!

@mellyons thank you so much for letting me know your story too. One of the biggest frustrations for me has been the lack of knowledge and support from the medical world. I had a procedure done, and at no time did anyone tell me what to expect along the 12 week “blanking” or healing period. I had so many questions and issues that popped up during this time. I have been forced to use AI every step of the way, and I believe that is all too common now. I would send the EP nurse a message in the portal and the answer was to go to the ER, and that was not what I needed to hear. I hope you too get answers and feel better soon!
