You betcha. .
All to frequently, the pain of Gerd (Gastric Esophageal Reflux disorder) causes a pain in the center of the chest, which can mimic a heart attack. Every year, thousands of people ignore that pain and end up either dead or, a cardiac invalid.
Generally, if the pain recedes with antacid, it is nothing serious, BUT, depending on your age and general health, it would advantageous to make an appointment with your doctor and have it checked out.
In this case, better safe than sorry.

Yep! it certainly can. I have a really messed up stomach..Ulcer and a Hiatus hernia which gives me gerd. I get a lot of discomfort in my chest. If the antacids are making it better it is acids.
I take omeprazle every morning now and rarely get any symptoms :)
