What Else Other Than Acid Reflux Can Give Pain In The Chest?

i have chest pains. They sometimes feel like spasms most the time on my left side around my breast. I thought i was having a heart attack six months ago becuz i felt presure in my chest but the doc at the er told me it was acid reflux. I do sometimes have chest pain that feels like pressure but lately just had what feels like spasms. Could it be acid reflux that is causing the feeling of spasms or could it be my heart. Im getting scared to go back to the doc but wondering if its my heart is stressing me out.
