Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor, GERD is associated with pain abdomen. This pain is vague and can be present at any site above the naval. GERD pain mimics the angina pain very often. However, since you have a sedentary lifestyle and high triglyceride levels, you are at risk of cardiovascular diseases. So, as a precaution you can take up 24 hour Holder test to know any kind of cardiac compromise. A normal ECG rules out cardiovascular diseases at first instance however, since you are at high risk, the test can be taken. Also consult your doctor for treatment of HERD. Some lifestyle modifications like having less fatty foods, having light dinner, keeping at least two hours between dinner and sleeping, sleeping with raised head, etc. can help. Thanks and take care Chat Doctor.
