See doctor: At your age and based on your history, anxiety may be the issue. However it is best for you to consult your doctor. If you have risk factors for heart disease (diabetes, strong family history, high lipid, hypertension etc) , then an ER visit would be prudent.

Go to ER: If it is very severe, go to the ER. Esophagitis pain from acid reflux usually isn't that severe.
