I have the exact same problems with the chest pains..I have a lot of belching also...I went to the emergency room twice and then had all the cardiac tests--EKG, stress test, myriad of blood work, holster monitor and spiral cardiac CT --all excellent results----I have exercised for years and I also have mitral valve prolapse....in 2011 I had digestive issues for the first time in my life and was nauseated for 6 months...I lost 30 pounds and was thin to begin with...I am having a nuclear stress test on Tuesday and it is done with drugs and injections---I am a bit nervous but feel I need it to rule out a problem--have either of you had this?

Two years ago I spent two days in cardiac care unit only to find I had a small ulcer in my esophagus. I surprised his doctors have not thought of doing an ENT yet.
He does not. The last hospital we went to that said it might be GERD suggested he schedule an endoscopic exam but he had other appointments with the cardiologist scheduled. Should we schedule an endoscopic exam then?
I do have gerd and chest pain along with back pain are my main symptoms. If you add stress and anxiety to it that the problem it is magnified. Did your boyfriend have an endoscopic exam to confirm diagnosis?
I should also mention when they ran with the "GERD" diagnosis. My boyfriend has no symptoms of heart burn and he never eats any really greasy food, etc. I'm not sure if this is just a minor symptom and not always associated with it. But wanted to throw that in there in case it helped. He said at the new doctor that his chest pain seemed to get worse when he was laying down which made her instantly conclude it was GERD but she never did any further examinations to be sure so it seemed a little bit like "jumping the gun."
