First pay attention : To diet. Avoid caffeine, alcohol, spices. Then take Tums (calcium carbonate) or maalox. If they help then take o/c prilosec. See your doctor. An endoscopy may be indicated to rule out ulcers and helicobacter pylori (ulcer causing bacteria).

Do not take a chance: While pain lasting hours at a time generally are from acid reflux (gerd) i would not take a chance. Please go to the er right away to be sure you are not having a heart attack.
