A member asked:

Pains in upper back chest neck arms, could this be because of gerd....?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Although gerd is only one of several conditions capable of causing these symptoms, it is probably the most common one capable of affecting all those areas. However consider that heart attacks and aortic dissection (both very serious issues) could do the same.
