Acid Reflux problems can cause what's known as Non Cardiac Chest pain.

So yes you can experience chest tightness and chest pain when dealing with Acid Reflux disease.

This usually happens due to muscles around the food tube having spasms which tightens.

Pain can also be felt in the throat along with the chest pain because of Acid Reflux.
