It is very hard for: You to tell the differences but I am going to give some guide lines gerd. Usually associated with intake of food, happen after you eat or when going to bed, usually improved by anti acid. Disc symptoms are usually associated with activity and spread in certain direction depend were the disc is. Cardiac issues also associated with activates and cause rapid heart beat and may cause rapid breathing.
