Having Chest discomfort for more than year.

I am 37 yrs old Male,
A year back I had injured my lower back when sat in floor for long time carring my sick kid on the shoulder. When I visited GP, I got tablet for pain releaf and anti inflammation. I had taken it for few week and got better.

After that In fews time I started getting some chest discomfort
as I normally dont go to hospital I tried avoid going to to GP for few weeks, when I got worried if this could be serious I went to GP and I have been adviced to have balanced food diet. But the symptoms are very new and all around chest, so I had visited GP few times, later had ECG and blood test done and confirmed that nothing to worry.

Still I kept getting the wired symptoms, in later visits I have been told that its anxiety. I have been asked to  ignore them.

I had been to my home town and went to differnt hospital and I had been diagnosed for low vitamin D and Iron. I started taking medicines for few months.

Still the symtoms were there and kept me worrying, and reduced 4 kgs with in few months. So visited GP again and mentioned about my weight loss. Then doctor asked me to go for stool test and confimred that I had H.Pylori and which also caused the iron deficiency as well.

I had taken antibiotics for two weeks and asked to continue on some medication to keep the stomach acit levels low for gut lining to heal. Which I have been asked to do it for now 4 months as I have still have some stomach pain and chest discomfort.

Again I started feeling pain in  left chest area which is under arms, left back,left shoulder. Its more of dull pain which comes and last for 30 mins and reduces.

In my GP they have mentioned to have endoscopy done to check post the infection if its fine now or not. I have been waiting for the endoscopy for now 5 weeks its taking way long time.

In past 15 yrs I had been to hospital hardly few times. But just the past one year i had been to 10 times and still not sure of what is going on.

I am concerned of what kind of issues I am really going through.
