Does GERD Cause Pain In Shoulder,neck And Ear After Drinking Wine?

I have previously been diagnosed with GERD. I take Nexium daily. I have pain in my upper right quadrant of my stomach that sometimes radiates to my back. Lately (6 months or so) when I drink even one glass of wine, I get right shoulder, neck and ear pain that can last a couple of days. I've done some searching and there is a lot of talk about Lymphoma. I am concerned. Could this added pain be my GERD?

In gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) the pain usually, present at the center of the chest and epigastric region. If pain in right hypochondrium and radiating to right shoulder after alcohol means you may be suffering from alcohol-induced hepatitis or cholecystitis.

Avoid taking wine, avoid spicy food and caffeinated drinks. If symptoms not improved, please consult your gastroenterologist he will to scan abdomen, liver function tests, and treat you accordingly.
