I had my heart worked up twice because of chest pain that was ultimately said to be from my c-spine. Brain MRI too, to rule out other potential causes.

While symptoms may be coming from your spine... that does not necessarily mean that you are not having a separate problems that can cause similar symptoms.

I've seen too many people who could have gotten help for heart problems, but waited because it's just heartburn. Get other problems ruled out if your symptoms warrant it.
