Can you have chest pain with diverticulitus?

I have been diverticulitus and am on my second attack in a year, when I have the attacks I have chest pains almost like spasms that will last for days. Could that be related to the meds they have me on  or a symptom of diverticulitus.

Hi pat29,
Have an upper GI endoscopy and 24 hours pH monitoring test done to rule out GERD.

I am on ciparo and flaglyn and I also take synthroid .5 . I have had chest xray and ekg done about a month ago because of the chest pain. Both test came back normal, and then they did a stress test because I was still having pain. The pain is on my left side and in my shoulder blade.
