Bad acid reflux question

Hello I be having heart burns and acid reflux for 3 months no and I was wondering can acid reflux make you have chest pains? 4 months ago I went to the doctor to check on my heart and everything is normal! Sometime!

reflux can cause severe chest pain that has nothing to do with your heart.  this is the way my reflux started out 22 years ago.  It hurt so bad!!!I would hurt in the middle of my chest, all the way through to my back, sometimes up to my neck and it even made my teeth hurt sometimes.

I remember someone suggesting gall bladder to me when i first started getting the pain.

I went to the doctor today and they said going to have some test done on Friday and see if it my gallbladder! But can the test tell you if you have GERD too?

  Hi and welcome to the GERD forum.

Yes, it is possible for GERD to cause heart issues, especially with bloating this can press on the vagus nerve and cause heart palps etc....

Have u been to a GI dr?
