Yes and no: It's common for reflux into the esophagus to produce referred pain elsewhere, especially the eyes -- those who haven't experienced this may have experienced "brain freeze" from an ice cube stuck halfway down. However, your husband shouldn't have to experience this -- such severe reflux needs to be investigated, probably by endoscopy.

Normal: His symptoms are consistent with gerd or gastric reflux. It can present with many of the symptoms described. Treatment is typically anti-acids, proton pump inhibitors.

Maybe: Your description sounds like acid reflux but it should be evaluated by a regular doctor. Reflux typically does not cause headache or eye discomfort so you may also want to see an eye doctor if these symptoms persist.
