    Okay... Too long, didn't read.
    How about you just go to the doctor and get yourself checked?
    Heart attacks can be mistaken as indigestion.
    Also, why are you looking to the Internet to tell you whether or not you're having a heart attack? Just go see a doctor!

    Could be acid reflux or a panic attack. I've had both.

    P.S. You really should see a doctor. Panic attacks can kill you. During my first one, my heart rate was over 200. I was on my way to a heart attack before I calmed down. Since being diagnosed I've used Lorazepam to treat it.

    Unless you have a history of heart problems, thyroid disease, high blood pressure, or you are taking birth control pills, highly unlikely it's a heart attack. However, if you have any of those, go to the ER.

    It sounds like probably a combination of indigestion and a panic attack. Take something for indigestion and try to some relaxation techniques. If it doesn't get better, see your doctor. There are a lot of things it can be besides a heart attack.

    I really wouldn't worry about it too much, it sounds very much like anxiety and is understandable considering you're under a lot of stress right now. Heart attack symptoms are much much more severe!
    It could even just have been indigestion after your meal, either way I don't think there's any reason for you to hospital. Unless of course the pain gets really bad or doesn't go away in a while.
