Yes, I know several people with gerd. I would recommend following a very low acid diet and watching what I eat carefullly.
Could you get a blood pressure cuff or something to check your heart when you have these episodes? That would help you to not be afraid that it is a heart attack.

I raise my hand. Yes, I have it and so does my Mom.
Drink lots of water when it happens to flush the extra acid back down. I don’t know if it helps, but I lean to favor that side so the water flows over the problem area. I recommend drinking a glass of water before eating. Chew your food well and take very small bites. Drink often while eating.
There are medicines that can help you control it. Nexium claims to help heal the affected area. Prilosec may help you control it. There are others. Talk to your doctor or pharmacist about your choices. Some of the other medications were not right for me. Some have after affects when you forget or stop using them.
Stress like worrying about the heart concern makes the GERD worse. Try to relax and review the links below.
