GERD Symptoms: Chest and Arm Pains?

What kind of symptoms do y'all experience with GERD? Anyone get chest pains or arm pains? I've had my heart checked so many times so it's not my heart. Just need to know if I'm alone with this one.

Can you help? connect today

I get this frequently and been checked out multiple times too! You aren’t alone. What helps me when it happens is lemon water and rubbing cooling or soothing essential oils over my sternum and putting pressure with my hand (which alarms people that don’t know why I’m doing that lol). It used to be really scary and now I’m just like oh crap ughhh. I also feel like my throat is closing or something is stuck in my throat a lot which I didn’t realize was also a symptom until recently.

I have it all the time. Extreme chest pain and throat pain. Also I have problems with breathing due to the pain and pressure in my chest. I haven't found anything to help relieve it yet.

I have the same thing. I have been diagnosed with broken heart syndrome as well but my heart is ok. I actually thought I was having a heart attack and my cardiologist said it’s acid reflux and my hiatal hernia

I get chest pain, but it's a very specific chest pain, and I know that because I DO have heart problems lol. I also have worsened cough variant asthma that was only diagnosed after a BAD episode of reflux triggered an attack. My dad has the same cough, although he doesn't wanna admit it or see a doctor for it because he's stupid and believes what he doesn't know won't hurt him 🙄
