Brief Answer:
Yes, go to the ER.
Detailed Answer:
Hello Pam,
While the pain you described may be from acid reflux, in women, heart problems can present atypically, so if you are having chest pain that has not been diagnosed before as an acid problem, yes, go to the ER where they can assess this.
After you have gone in, I would be happy to answer any further questions.
