I had jaw pain first and then my the middle of my chest started hurting. I became clammy and threw up a small amount. My heart tests are all good and the doctors think it is acid reflux. The jaw pain puzzles me and also the fact that it was in the morning: a time that doesn't usually cause acid to come up in my throat.
Q: Can acid reflux cause jaw pain?

I don't have an answer to this either but i've felt the same way... never felt clammy or threw up but I've had chest and jaw pain at the same time.. I had a stress test/ecocardiogram combo or "stress eco" and the doctors said my heart was "textbook healthy" So now I try not to worry about it. The jaw pain does throw me though I don't know what's could be causing it... I've thought that maybe the nerves are connected or perhaps I may have an infected or abcessed tooth or something.
Usually I wait it out or eat/drink something very neutral and if that doesn't work I pop about 500 miligrams of aspirin just to give me a little peace of mind.
I figure the docs aren't going to do a damn thing about it until I'm carried in on a stretcher so I'm basically not going to stress out about it until something definitive happens.

Jaw pain in women, especially with vomiting and feeling clammy, can also be signs of a heart attack. If it recurrs, you should go asap to an emergency room or urgent care for an ekg and bloodwork. Silent heart attacks can be diagnosed by blood results when ekg's miss them.
