Possible: Pain from the jaw to upper abdomen could be related to heart. Not all pain is heart attack though. Chest pain should be evaluated by a physician.

It varies: Symptoms of heart attack are classically crushing chest pain that radiates into the jaw and left arm. Other symptoms can include pain under a breast. If you have any question whether you may be having a heart attack, you should immediately go to your nearest emergency department.
