Q: Ask a question...Can you have GERD with chest and jaw pain at the same time.? Lasting up to 5 mins.?
Hi Lulu,
While chest pain can be a symptom of GERD, it is best to speak to your doctor to make sure the chest pain isn't something more serious. You can read about the symptoms of acid reflux here in the symptoms database. I haven't seen anything that says that jaw pain is a common or uncommon symptom. Online resources are wonderful for providing the information you need to ask all the right questions, but these sources can not replace your doctor's advice.
Hope this helps somewhat. Please stay in touch and let us know how you are doing!

Hi Lulu, I have had a heart attack, and have lived with GERD. I've had episodes that mimiced the heart attack, and been put in cardiac observation numerous times. Finally, I got tired of the hospital and the "non-cardiac chest pain", and demanded a differential diagnosis from my PCP. The final answer was GERD with Barrett's Esophagus, and esophageal spasms. So the answer to your question is "Yes". BUT, you really need a qualified doctor's diagnosis. Women do not always have normal symptoms with a heart attack! Also, because men are more likely to develope Barrett's Esophagus exponentially over women, doctors tend not to look for this in women. (the old horse-zebra admonition).
Best of luck... but see your doctor!
Been there, done that.
