I am concerned this is not heart burn, but angina because of coronary artery disease. If prilosec has no effect – even at the low dose of over-the-counter medications – I’d want to exclude heart disease first.

My advice, see your doctor and get evaluated.
Risks include a variety of factors that include high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity and smoking:

If you know your blood pressure and cholesterol you can calculate your risk here:
