"Heck" is one of those euphamisms for "h ell." It's one of many all-purpose casual expletives.

Like, "Well, shoot! What the heck did she expect, anyway?"

It's just a way of adding a little flavor to your remark. It can suggest that you're surprised, or insensed, or angry, or elated - depending on the situation.
