I have 24/7 pain everyday with no break since i developped the condition. When I try and have coffee (which i use to love and was hard for me to quit) I get excrutiatiing burning pain and pressure in my chest.
I was wondering if anyone else experiences the same or not and if they are Type A (episodic pain when they eat but attacks subside) or type B (constant 24/7 pain worst when they eat)
Thanks for your feedback

Hope this helps
