Brief Answer:
GERD related angina
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thank you for your query. I can understand your concerns.
Your spouse seems to have linked angina(GERD related angina).Many patients with proven oesophageal disease have electrocardiographic (ECG) abnormalities, and it has been shown that typical angina pain can be elicited by instillation of acid into a patient’s oesophagus.There exists a neural reflex capable of altering cardiac blood flow, or cardiac pain perception on stimulation of the oesophageal mucosa.
