I am a 26-year-old male with a tingling sensation in my upper abdomen and occasional dull/achy pain in my upper left back that radiates to my upper left abdomen. The pain is often triggered by poor posture or standing awkwardly. I have anxiety and stress from work, and I sleep on my stomach. My primary care provider thinks it's a muscle strain, but I'm concerned it might be something more serious. Should I visit a physical therapist, and what could be causing this pain and tingling sensation?

After eating popcorn, I experienced a burning sensation in my sternum area and top of my stomach, which felt hot to touch and persisted despite taking Advil and Tums. I am concerned if this could be something more serious, especially since I also occasionally experience right-sided chest pain. Should I be worried, and are there any specific symptoms I should watch for that would indicate I need immediate medical attention?
