Yes, acidity can cause chest pain that feels like a burning or tightening sensation behind the breastbone. This is called heartburn and is often mistaken for heart-related pain, but it’s caused by acid irritation.

Important Notes

• Pain usually occurs after eating or lying down.
• It may worsen at night or after heavy meals.
• If pain is severe or feels different from usual acidity, consult a doctor to rule out heart issues.
