I am sorry that you had that experience. Chances are it is heartburn or even just panic. If things get worse or you have shortness of breath etc I would get looked at but in the meantime see if there is anything at all you can do to take your mind of it.
I know that is easier said than done. Let me know if I can help

I am sure it is just heart burn, have you taken anything to relieve it try gaviscon. I would just go to the docs to put your mind at rest ,the what if factor is not helpfull. Take care

I bet you know deep down you have heart burn but of course you are worried after that experiance (who wouldnt be).
I have been with someone who had a heart attack and she didnt say she had heart burn, dont think its a common symptom.
I hope your feeling better now and have seen a gp now ?
