At 33, as long as you have no major risk like diabetes, smoking or cocaine use, the chance of heart as a source of symptoms is low. Low is not zero. I usually will review symptoms of reflux (burning, sometimes meal related, often lasting longer than 30 minutes or occurring at rest) and musculoskeletal pain (positional and localized with a finger) and recommend a trial of over the counter heartburn aid. If the symptoms fail to improve, I will usually reassess and consider testing.
