Yes  H-Pylori can cause bad chest pain, the pain is coming from the esophigus, which is just to the left of the center of your chest, if you are certain you have H-Pylori, the pain is caused by excess stomach acid, you need to get treated as H-Pylori is a nasty bacteria, it lays dorment in most people and is held in check by your stomachs good bacteria, although when you take an Anti-biotic treatment for an infection, it kills off the good bacteria and H-Pylori takes over and if left untrated for a long period of time can cause ulcers and or cancer, due to the inflammation of the lining of the stomach, You can supress the bacteria with Prilosec OTC, To treat and get rid of it, your MD has to prescribe two strong anti-Biotics and an Acid Pump Prohibitor aka Prilosec that has to be taken for a ten day period, then a stool sample is taken to ensure the bacteria is gone. The trick is to make sure you go to a health food store and purchase a good Pro-Biotic, and take daily as you take the Anti-Biotic medication, this way you will keep a good bacteria balance while the Anti-biotic is killing the H-Pylori bacteria

Having H. pylori can lead to gastritis. This, in turn can result in the refluxing of acid which can cause esophageal problems/spasms and chest pain.
