I was wondering if acid reflux can cause upper back pain as well as arm pain almost like nerve pain I would say in the arms . I get a lot of chest pain and it is in different areas in my chest sometimes . Been to the Er 6 times in 3 months and they say my heart is fine . I have had 6 ekg 6 blood rest and 2 or 3 chest X-rays . Have seen a gi doctor and was put on protonix but it causesed me to have severe headaches so I’ve been put on omeprazole for about 7 or 8 days now and have had pain and stuff every day . I also get a feeling like something is stuck in my throat . I still worry it’s my heart for some reason but my blood pressure is always around 130 over 85. And I have anxiety as well so it does not help . I was wondering if any one else had upper pain pain and sometimes arm pain from this

    Hi,

    from reading posts on other threads, upper / general back pain is quite common. If I get it, it tends to be between the shoulder blades. Never had it in the arms though, I must confess. For me it’s a dull ache rather than genuine pain.

    get well soon.
