Could indigestion cause chest pain?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes but...: Many other problems can cause chest pain as well. The nature of your pain, i.e. What makes it better, what makes it worse, when does it come on, is it there all the time, what does it feel like, where does it hurt on your chest, and your medical history will start to help clarify what might be driving it.

Yes: But don't label a chest pain episode as indigestion. Get it checked out (in E.R.). There are many people who have died because they attributed caridac chest pain to indigestion. Only a doctor, with adequate tools, can tell if you've had a heart attack.
