A member asked:

Gerd? could gerd cause sensitive to touch chest pain on both l & r side of upper chest? all heart tests are normal. no pain in sternum.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Chest pain: GERD can cause chest pain but should not cause reproducible pain with palpation. This sounds more like inflammation of the muscles and cartilage around the ribs, costochondritis. Chest pain should be evaluated by your physician.
