Diagnosed w/ mild case of Acid Reflux

I am an 18 year old male and i was diagnosed with a mild case of acid reflux back in late October. The doctor also said that I have a Hiatal Hernia. I don't believe he specified which type I had. But he told me that it was nothing to worry about. For the past month I have been on prescribed medicine in hopes of treating my mild case of Acid Reflux. But my question pertains to some pain I have been having since last night. It started with a pain on the right side of my neck from the middle of neck to the base of my neck. Then I have been having pain in the middle of my chest. The pain in my chest feels almost as if some food is stuck. Every time I inhale yawn burp etc. the pain in both my neck and chest would be the worse but then it would subside. I have had this neck pain before but it has been a while because of the medicine I have been taking. As for the chest pain/pressure I have never experienced that before. The thing that makes me nervous is that maybe the pain in my chest is related to the hernia? When I think about that I think about what if I need surgery? If it doesn't go away by tomorrow I am probably going to go to see my doctor because it is rather uncomfortable. Advice would be appreciated. Thank you
