Since the past two days have been having some weird pressure and deep burning ache in my neck and jaw- I was also having occasional chest pressure, but I knew it was due to GERD but this neck n jaw issue is new I consulted my regular cardiologist, who did ECG, echo and some blood test, which were completely normal - I also have a history of a normal invasivea angiogram done a year ago He gave me medicines for GRD and dysphasia mentioning that GERD issues can present in several atypical ways But my mind remains fixed on cardiac side - since all the investigations have been done, I don't know if I should go for any other test
