Because of your history of smoking your risk for coronary artery disease isn't low and I would not blow this off.  i would suggest being seen by a cardiologist and having  a stress test done to assess for any significant coronary artery disease.

Yes, a hiatal hernia can mimic a heart attack and give you chest pain. That is why your stress test, echo and EKG are fine...and also, why you have been prescribed Prevacid, which is a drug that reduces stomach acid.
