Do you have : Any risk factors for heart disease? Have they done any ekg or stress test? Do you have a hiatal hernia? Have they done an endoscopy? If you are on medicine and symptoms of heartburn continue and you are avoiding all things and food that worse acidity like coffee, carbonated soda, acid fruits, eating within 2 hrs before going to bed etc, then you may need to r/o h. Pylori, an stomach bacteria.

If your heart tests : Are normal, likely it's not the heart causing your pain. Get reassurance from your dr. If its gerd, cut down in coffee, citrus fruits , spicy foods, alcohol, soda , chocolates etc. Take care!
