I get that too. I think it's heartburn?

I was diagnosed with Crohn's 3 years ago.  So, I can only tell you from personal experience since I'm not a doctor.   Chest pain could be heartburn because Crohn's can affect any part of your GI tract...it could be ulcerations also...have you had a gastroscopy?  Other reasons: anxiety...either from the disease or medications you might be taking, or GB problems...which can be associated with Crohn's.  My suggestion...watch your diet and see your doctor.

High doses of prednisone can caused chest pain.
