What Causes Weakness And Severe Acid Reflux?

I am a 47 year old woman. I suddenly felt shaky and very weak and I went and laid down for a bit. My heart felt as though it were racing. When I didn't feel significantly better, I used my exercise heart monitor and took my heart rate. It said 143. I now have a mild headache and still feel weak. I am generally very healthy, but I do have severe acid reflux and I have CAD. Should I be concerned enough to call my doctor tonight or tomorrow - or would it be best to take a wait and see approach. I don't want to make a big deal out of a maybe severe acid reflux attack. Thanks for your assistance.
