Very well could be: If you have chest pain with nausea and have undergone an extensive cardiac evaluation, then it very much so could be gastrointestinal related. It is well known that because of "shared" sensory nerve networks, that upper gastrointestinal pain can mimic cardiac pain and vice versa. You would be best served to review your concerns with your doctor. Remember even anxiety could be causing this.
