Suggest Treatment For Pain In The Middle Of The Chest While Having GERD

Good afternoon! I ve been experiencing a dull, nagging pain in the center of my mid-chest area -- right where the ribs separate but only notice it moreso at night when I lay down to go to sleep. I have acid reflux issues and didn t know if this might be related?
