Are gerd and angina related?

Yes and no.

No because they aren't . Yes because they can FEEL the same. Angina is most common in middle aged and elderly males. Females are usually affected after menopause.

GERD is gastric esophageal reflux disease. This is a motility disorder. heart burn, sour taste regurgitation of stomach contents... This is your stomach throwing stuff up into your esophagus with lots of acid from your stomach contents causing pain and damage.

ANGINA is the heart muscle pain. characterized by discomfort that occurrs when the myocardial oxygen demand exceeds the supply.

It can be chronic, unstable, stable or acute. It can be due to many different things. Source(s): Family Nurse Practitioner
only in that their symptoms are very similar.

I knew a gerd with acute angina.
No. Although both conditions cause discomfort in the chest, they are two seperate, unrelated conditions. Angina pectoris is a cardiac condition, and GERD, or gastroesophageal reflux disease is a gasto-intestinal disorder. The two have no correlation.
