Yes: Burning chest pain with neg heart studies and no cardiovascular risk factor is gerd until proven otherwise. Change your diet and avoid food that trigger the chest pain like coffee, sodas, fatty fry food, spicy/hot food, acid fruits, broccoli, garlic, onions etc. Loose weight if overweight, avoid tight clothes, don't eat 2h before going to bed, eat 6 smaller meals a day, exercise.

I was diagnosed with GERD years ago. However, lately my stomach, chest, throat and mouth has been burning, unlike my usual symptoms. When I stand, it feels like hot acid is released right below my chest and underarm area. Is this more than GERD?
