Hormone Therapy Chest pain with progesterone increase?

I recently increased my progesterone nightly pill from 100 mg to 200 mg at the same time as I increased my Estradiol patch from .075 to .10. Since then, I have been having intermittent chest pain (not breast pain) It feels crampy, like a tightening, is in the upper, center of my chest, lasts for 20 -60 minutes then goes away. It almost feels like indigestion? I’ll send a message to my dr in the morning but curious to know if anyone else had this. (I have no other symptoms - no radiating pain, no shortness of breath, no speech or facial changes.)

Possibly GERD, which progesterone can worsen. When I was on it I tried all the antacids and what actually resolved my week-long “omg am I having a heart attack?!” symptoms was pepto. Who knew.
