Yes, but be cautious: Upper back pain can be a rare symptom of gerd. But usually indicates some complications such as erosive esophagitis. Pancreatitis is frequently overlooked and can be serious. See your doctor and do not blow it off to gerd until proven otherwise.

Have been diagnosed with GERD, the possible silent reflux kind, where acid comes all the way back up. Not as much heartburn but more clearing and irritated throat. Also have chronic sinus nasal and ear irritation. Could the acid cause that?
