I suppose you mean 'whether'.
Pain due to heart disease (usually insufficient blood supply to a portion of the heart muscle) is often described as a crushing sensation or a band around the chest. It may radiate along the left arm, to the jaw or to the shoulder. It is often brought on by exertion and may subside with rest. Sustained pain may indicate a serious problem and you should get to a hospital as soon as you can. Call 911 or the local equivalent.
Pain in the chest may be due to an injury or infection. It is better localized and may get worse with breathing deeply or movement.

Well depends on what kind of pain you have. Is it more of a gas, like you need to burp? Is it a radiating sharp pain where you can't breathe as well? Any pain in arms, neck, throat, back? Did it come on suddenly? How is your blood pressure and heart rate?
You have to ask yourself those questions and if it's more gas, you can take meds like tums, rolaids, mylanta, maalox, etc but if you have any other symptoms you need to go to the ER as it could be a heart attack and the sooner you are treated the better, heart muscles can die without oxygen and cause permanent damage

I had chest pains last week, I went to the emergency room and it turned to be Pulmonary Embolism.
I would see a doctor right away.
Good Luck!

The best thing you could do is go to your doctor and get and Electrocardiogram if you are concerned about your heart health.
