Common Questions and Answers about Chest pain heartburn or heart attack

heartburn

Avatar f tn I've been having really bad chest pain all night I can't sleep because of it. It's so hard to breath it feels like a stabbing pain I'm 32+3 weeks I've been trying to wait till my doctors office opens but is getting worst I have never in my life had pain like this and it's starting to scare me. Has anyone else experienced pain like this.
Avatar n tn It could be. I was talking to one of my friends who is only 15. He describes that he gets the exact same thing on occasion. We seem to agree that when we breathe in it hurts so we have to breathe in slightly and breathe out more until the sharp pain subsides, which is usually after about a minute. Honestly, I'm pretty convinced now that it's heartburn since my friend described that he gets it too.
Avatar f tn Winnie, under the circumstances I would call a cardiologist (or at least your family doctor) immediately. The increasingly bad symptoms, especially the heartburn, can mean an approaching heart attack. My father was 44 when he had "stomach" problems, and soon died of a heart attack. I am 52, have normal blood pressure, pulse, ECG, etc., but have been having the classic symptoms of stable angina over the last few weeks (and less frequent symptoms for much longer).
1180004 tn?1264466754 sorry not a pic attack of gasro reflux but a panic attack OR gastro-relux. Neither one is serious and easily/cheaply solved!
Avatar f tn I got into the bathroom and I did throw up. Is this acid reflux or possible heart attack. This is the first time this happened, the heartburn went away right after.
Avatar n tn Pain that starts along my jaw bone and spreads quickly to my chest (Like a really bad case of heartburn) where I have trouble taking deep breaths without pain. I break out in a sweat and feel panicy. It only lasts for a short time but it is starting to worry me. I also have occasional left upper arm pain. Does this sound like heart attack symptoms?
Avatar f tn s so bad that I get a new, completely different ache in my chest, shoulder and jaw, which feels more like what I imagine a heart attack would feel like than heartburn. Feels a bit like a lump moving too, and the pressure is bad but it goes away with heartburn treatment so I assume it's heartburn related...
1814992 tn?1316890851 Im not sure if it heart attack or heartburn or something else. I didnt experience any shortness of breath, dizziness , fainting . I even think that it could be nerve demage . I dont know... WHen I looked my throat in the morror, I see little red veins has appeared . Doctor checked only my blood pressure which was normal and refused to do further checking of heart , telling that I might be very young to have heart attack.
Avatar f tn s really freaked me out is the arm thing I was talking about. I read something about pain or discomfort starting out in your arm when you have a heart attack coming on. I also ended up at urgent care a few months ago because my heart suddenly started racing really fast and thudding in my chest. It only lasted a few seconds and did not happen again, but I still went and got it checked out. They did an EKG and nothing was wrong, so the doctor chalked it up to anxiety.
Avatar f tn thank you bill for your timely response,the pain lasted about four hours,next day i had a headache,see i diden't have actual heart burn just chest pain ,the whole thing left me un nerved ,i'm not an over reacter and the last place i wanted to go is the er ,the doctor asked me well what were u expecting it to be ,,,umm i wanted to say i expect you do your job and tell me why my chest hurts ,I THINK he missed the bed side manner class or something ,,
Avatar f tn Im 20 weeks pregnant and has anyone had any sharp pain like chest pain? Right now I'm feeling it. I don't know if thats normal. Could it be heartburn.? The pain is like right near your heart.
Avatar f tn Now, I do have acid reflux but it was not heartburn I really panicked there and started to think this is it I am having a heart attack..Ι got a coca cola and started burping. But I have never felt tight chest before so worried. Didn't have any other symptoms with the tightness and pulse / oxygen etcc was very normal. should I go to the cardiologist again?? (Was ok 3 months ago).
Avatar f tn This leads to difficulty in breathing and tightening of chest wall, which eventually results in the pain in chest. If the symptoms of heart attack such as palpitations, rapid heart rate, sweating, pale skin are not experienced with a left chest pain, it is often an indication that the person is suffering from acidity or gas or heartburn. Left side chest pain, often generates the ripples of panic in the individual and his relatives.
Avatar n tn I have had very high blood pressure since giving birth 3 months ago, also was diagnosed with Bells Palsy 3 days after birth and almost fully recovered from that. Heart rate stays around 100 bpm and bp usually stage 1 or 2. Never had heart or bp issues before this pregnancy. Any one had this or knows what could be the cause?!?!
Avatar f tn Be concern about your chest pain plus numbness of left arm. sometimes heartburn is also a symptoms of heart disease(ischemic).better see physician for that condition.
Avatar f tn my heart rate is 113 its not normally that high and i don't know if i have heartburn or chest pains, i had a drink yesterday and i suffer from panic attacks do you think this is the reason
1210142 tn?1266077031 Can hearburn cost pain in my chest, arms and back? I had heart attack 5 months ago- two stents were placed, got clogged 3 months later and in January 2010 I had another stent placed inside those two. The pain never stopped but the doctors seem to think it is not cardiac...I do believe it is cardiac but trying to keep an open mind for all options.
955560 tn?1250194545 Can I also point at that you said it's nothing major that you feel the pain isn't strong that can be acid reflux. It can also occur in the throat. Am not saying you this, but pain in middle of chest is commonly known for heartburn if you don't have any heart problems, which in this case you don't because you had an ekg test. Heartburn happens to many people, it's not seen as something that is medical, unless you get it all the time.
Avatar m tn A bruised or broken rib, and panic attack all can lead to pain in chest.GERD can cause heartburn and chest discomfort. If the pain is on left side of chest and is accompanied with sweating, shortness of breath it can be an indication of heart attack etc.There are many other things it could be so if it persists you should seek medical help. A clinical examination and workup will definitely help. An esophagoscopy; X-ray chest and ECG may help. It is best to seek medical help.
1069143 tn?1471312610 I have heartburn, gas, and chest pain... I am a little worried, what causes this.
Avatar f tn Your pain is not typical for cardiac pain. Pain that lasts only a few seconds is almost never heart related. Chest pain from ischemia ( lack of oxygen to the heart muscle) normally comes on with exertion and is constant lasting 30 mins or more. Angina goes away with rest. Having said that, you should get it checked out since you have a family history.
428185 tn?1203741789 Do good results from a stress/echo test, EKG and resting echocardiogram preclude angina or heart attack? I passed these tests, so I can't figure out this squeezing pain I get in my chest. First I thought it was heartburn because I have hiatal hernia, but it's not a burning pain at all, and neither Prilosec, Tums nor water helps. I get these maybe 3-4 times a year, but I've had 3 this year already. Last night was bad, it finally went away but it's back again but milder right now.
1315722 tn?1274044476 The symptoms that happen the most for me are the chest pain/tightness and the heartburn. I will have chest pain near my heart, my chest will feel tight, and like i need to burp and sometimes i will have a pain on the right side of my chest. Its hard to describe, but I have been feeling this for quite some time now, and my doctor says its not a heart attack or heart issues and says its anxiety. He says if it was a heart attack I would have already had it by now. The heartburn really *****.
