gerd. Are they related?

I have GERD and sometimes get brief dull pain under my left breast, now I feel the same one under my right breast/rib area. That normal? Kidney stone?

Not kidney stone. If you have stones, it would not be a brief and dull pain. Besides your pain is too high and upfront above the kidney area. I think you need to see a doctor about this since the pain you describe is not typical for gerd. Read more...

Get brief pains under my left breast, also on the side, under my armpit. I have a kidney stone, and gerd. Was wondering if it could be heart related?

Possibly. Heart disease is the #1 killer of women due to it being under diagnosed.. Women do not present with the usual symptoms that doctors are taught in school. Your age goes against it and it sounds more like fibrocystic disease or a breast cyst. You should be examined first, then have appropriate tests done. Read more...

Probably not. But reason for the pain is less clear. It sounds lime pleurisy. Read more...

Chest pain. Pain is not cardiac related. It may be related to your gerd. Read more...
