We cannot diagnose you, only a doctor can do this. But a panic attack can indeed make a person question whether they are having a heart attack.
I have questioned this myself a few times! Symptoms can include palpitations, pounding heart, sweating, trembling or shaking. Sensations of shortness of breath or a feeling of choking. You may have had a severe case of heartburn and panicked about it. Whatever you experienced, it was severe enough to consider going to the hospital. If you ever feel that ill again, don't let fear of embarrassment stop you from seeking medical help. I definitely think you should make an appointment with your doctor to see what is going on.
