Can Pain In Chest Be Esophageal Problem?

Yes, my husband has been experiencing pains the last couple of weeks. He went in today to have blood taken and experienced the pains while there. The doctor took an 12 lead ekg and it showed nothing. The doctor then took blood to check his heart enzymes. The pain usually stays right in the chest area but one time, on Monday it radiated down his arm. Could this be esphogal problems or what?
