gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)?I was diagnosed with GERD a few years back but I have to wonder if it really is GERD....I take prilosec (prescription) everyday and never miss a dose, they say my chest pain is due to my esophagus spasming from the heartburn...is it possible to have the chest pain from an esophagus spasm if ur not feeling any heartburn? The pain in my chest feels like a spidering of nerves into my back and happens every so often uncontrollably and I haven't noticed it happening specifically after meals or activity it just happens...does this happen to anyone else? I found out about it by going to my ER, I literally felt like I was (what I had thought) having a heart attack but apparently didn't.

In bad cases, you certainly can get esophageal spasm. And yes, it can feel exactly like heart pain.
Have you been evaluated by a GI (stomach specialist)?
