Any aggravating/relieving factors or pattern to his symptoms? Years ago I
subluxed one of my costotransverse joints and it caused regular, severe,
burning pain in one or two segments around the chest wall. This was long
before it was recognised as an occupational hazard of rowing, and referral
to the orthopods was a complete waste of time for me. Eventually resolved on
its own!

Chap with atypical chest pain - early 40s, already been to see
cardiologists and being investigated for an abnormal ECG - ??
cardiomyopathy, but they obviously do not think it is causing the
chest pain. Also he is very fit and cycles ++. Pain he describes as a
burning pain, like sunburn L side of chest. Worse with exercise. PPIs
not effective. Who would you refer to?? One of those funny ones!
