Hello and thank you for using HCM.I carefully read your question and I understand your concern.You shoud not worry. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion.

A typical heart pain has some characteristics. They are retro-sternal pains like squizzing ,tightness or heaviness. They may irradiate to both arms, jaw and last from 5 to 20 minutes.

A typical heart pain and heart attack usauly affect older ages and persons whith different risk factors like hypertension, diabetes, smokers and with hereditary of ischemic heart disease.
As you are very young and you have not a typical pain the risk of heart attach is low (rare).

In my opinion you have nothing to worry about becouse this pains are probably related to Gerd or your costochondritis.
GERD is quite known to give such pains like heart burning sensations.
Anyway if this symtoms persist after treating GERD I will recomend to do some simple examinations like an electrocardiogram, a cardiac echo and a strees test.
Hope I was helpful.Wish you good health.
Best regards.
