How to discriminate angina decubitus from gerd? both happen when someone is lying down and have similar symptoms?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Testing: This is why chest pain is serious. As both can mimic each other. A trained history, physical with appropriate testing is sometimes the only way to decipher the two. I would get checked immediately at the emergency room. Good luck
