Neck and back pain for a week along with heartburn. heartburn gets worse when i lay down. can neck/back pain and heartburn be associated? thanks a lot

Yes: Severe reflux can cause neck and back pain. This is primarily in the upper back not lower back. Reflux can be worsened by laying flat. In general you should avoid large meals, fatty meals and eating within three hours of lying down.
