can GERD symptoms cause chest pain?

First, I HAVE been to my doc a thousand times over and he doesnt know where the chest pain comes from, and its certainly not panic attacks. When i get the chest pains (generally between my breastbone), i have the urge to burp and my throat swells a little, making it more difficult to swallow. Is this consistent with what GERD could possibly cause?

ABSOLUTELY – i have stomach ulcers and when they flare up it feels like hell in my chest – however if you have shortness of breath at the same time call 911 !!!
Most probably. Take medication for GERD like PPI (proton pump inhibotors) or antacidsfor 6-8 weeks. Avoid lying supine right after a meal. If the chest pain disappear then it could be due to GERD, if not, it could be something else.
