GERD vs heart pain: If in doubt, seek medical attention. Esophagus pain can easily be confused with heart pain, there can be overlap, &/or the symptoms can occur together or be meal-associated. Symptoms that respond to antacids however are more likely peptic (acid-related). On the other hand, get to er as soon as possible if accompanying shortness of breath, pain radiating to the left arm or jaw, exertional symptoms.
