<bot>: Hello! Thank you for asking on Chat Doctor! Regarding your concern, I would explain that your symptoms could be related to different causes: - a pinched nerve or articular irradiating pain from a bulging intervertebral disc- gastroesophageal reflux-acute pancreatitis. For this reason, I would recommend consulting with your doctor for a physical exam and some tests: - a cervical spine X-ray study- a chest X-ray study - complete blood count-kidney and liver function tests-amylase and lipase plasma levels-blood electrolytes. I would also recommend taking an antacid or PPI (omeprazole, pantoprazole). If these Chat Doctor.  You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues. Hope to have been helpful! Kind regards,
