Definitely.: The #1 killer of Americans is heart disease, and having Gerd does not protect you from it. Therefore, if you are having any chest pain which you cannot attribute definitely to Gerd, you should go to the emergency room immediately and have it checked out. Better to find out that your pain is not related to heart disease than to suddenly die from it if it is from the heart. Good luck. Go now!
