These pains may or may not be related to acid reflux. It sounds like a general practitioner who is famililar with acid reflux could help you to rule out acid reflux as a cause with a reflux-friendly diet, and possibly medication. Reply

I have the same thing. I also have acid reflux along with it and it seems to be very closely associated with stress. I have seen a GP sometime back but was told I was too young to have GERD, I was in my early 30s then.  It seems to come only when I have stress.

I'm currently having the above symptoms as well. It's happened two or three times in my entire life, and it's always the right side when it happens. Never the left.

 

It usually only happens when I'm really stressed about something. I'm 22 years old.

You could be describing the last two weeks of my life. I hope by now you've had your problem diagnosed, but on the chance someone else comes along with the same issue, I am answering your question. I've had pain in my right collar bone, going through to my back, up my neck, and slightly down my right arm, along with horrible heartburn and indigestion. I was diagnosed with acid reflux and given nexium 40 mg once per day. I've taken it just once, and it does appear to be helping, though I've heard you need to take it several times before you will get the full effects. Of course, other things can cause these symptoms, and you should never risk your health and should always see a doctor.
