Hi ! I had gone through your question and I understand your concern. Yes sometimes heart disease it can be experienced like gastritis symptoms, cause, vomiting heartburn we call them atypical presentation of heart disease (in the rather case we will think angina sectors)Sometimes there are not to May specific think to distinguish but when the hurt burn is from the stomach (reflux) it disappear when we give antacid to the patient (sanitizing), the patient have regurgitation also. Pain from peptic ulcer worse 3 hours after eating. In Heart problem the pain is most of the case tightness \", \"heaviness\" or pressure \"sharp\" chest pain that can spread to the neck and the left arm .last 20-30 when the pain start after physical exercise it is from the heart. If your father have episodes with hypertension and the pain come should consider from heart. . Other cardiovascular symptoms
