Hi Laceytronnes,

Yes...though symptoms of anxiety &heart attack are slimilar, one can differenciate them by their typical charactors.
-Pain in anxiety is sharp &sudden, in middle chest region, lasts for 20-30 minutes maximally &follows psychological stress.
-Pain in heart attack comes suddenly in middle part of chest,it is more squeezing or pressing form.Many a times it comes after physical stress &tends to get aggravated.It can be associated with high blood pressure.
Such attack is due to cardiac ischemia &is accompanied by breathlessness.
*Anxiety can cause heart attack &heart attack can cause anxiety.
- Indigestion &, associated gases can simulate symptoms of heart attack, bit pain in jaw line creates suspicion of heart attack.
*Due to the serious health effect heart attack has...though you are connecting it to digestive problems..I would advise attending ER to get EKG & (if indicated)stress test done to exclude or diagnose heart attack..followed by needful treatment.
I hope that answers your query.Any follow up query is welcome.
