It's always better to go to the ER and find out it is GERD, than to have a heart attack and not go to the ER. I know you will go if you have the pain again! Remember too, that women often have heart pain in their back or shoulder blade, and even up in the jaw. I know you mentioned that you knew women's symptoms are often different than mens, which is typically in the chest and down the left arm. So, pay attention, young lady, and get to the ER if you have ANY more pain in the upper chest, back, jaw area!
