Hi Warren. I think that if your chest pain is being caused by gerd you are refluxing acid into your esophagas. This can be very painful. Infact a friend of mine thought she was having a heart attack and went to the hospital for a severe episode of gerd. She is only 24. Of course, she did the right thing by having her heart checked out. If you have chest pain obtain a complete evaluation from a qualified doctor. Also, I think I read that indigestion can cause extra gas in the stomach itself which can then put additional pressure on the chest muscles.

Hope you feel better soon.
