gas pain vs heart attack

I have the same problem. I get this all the time, it will even make my arm hurt, too! I freak out completely when this happens, but I don't have any other symptoms of a heart attack(sweating, dizziness, etc.). I think you should talk with your doctor about this, I asked mine and all he said was I was to young to have a heart attack (i'm 23). Do you ever get pain in your back at the same time, I do and was just wondering?

However, any mid chest pain, after a meal, should be investigated for a heart attack, as soon as possible, by a 12 lead EKG.

Hi pink, i experience the same problem as you.... gas and chest pain.... i get nervous and think i am going to get a heart attack...... i took a endoscopy which shows some blood clots in my stomach. and doctor said it is called erosive gastitis and there is nothing to worry. i am still under medication. iam waiting for the full course of medication to finish. but the doctor has said to me it is not permanently curable... it will come time and again and disturb you....

I have been having pain in my left arm, back, jaw. You name a heart attack symptom and I have it. It has been a week since all this started and it is getting worse by the day. Sometimes I can convince myself it is anxiety then other times I just start to freak out. My grandma just died in February of a heart attack and I have the same symptoms she did. It is driving me crazy I just can't stop worrying about it. I dont want to go to the ER and feel stupid.

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.

An MI (heart attack) by definition means heart cell damage due to lack of oxygenated blood flow to heart muscle to portion of the heart in question. Heart cell damage does not always mean there is permanent damage as heart cells could have been stunned or hybernating and not necrotic. There can be a heart attack (MI) without any symptoms. I didn't know I had had a heart attack until I had the symtoms of heart failure!

I will add an agree to thease ladies i get it so bad sometimes too that my chest hurts was told it was angina (exsess gas in your abdominal cavity) causes a lot of pain some people even to to the hospital thinking its a heart attack!!

Possibably a Heart attack you may wanna call911

I have went to the ER twice and both times they gave me meds to lower my BP but said the EKG was negative for a heart attack. Am I creating this in my mind, is it gas that Ive always had but not noticed? I am scared to death.... Anyone with any advice would be appreciated. I am a 34 yr old male. Thanks.

I have heartburn, gas, and chest pain... I am a little worried, what causes this.

What you are describing is classic symptoms of a heart attack, have doc check it out or go to E.R. just to be on the safe side.

I was woken up late last night with severe chest and stomach pain,My arms did'nt hurt and I could breath ok,It hurt to breath in and I was imobile for about 5 mins,the pain was so bad I thought I was having a heart attack,I've experienced gas and I thought that's what it was until it went into my chest,I've never felt pain like that before,having 2 babies was'nt as bad as that was,after about 15 mins it slowly eased up,I took 2 rolaids and a beno,but today I still have a dull

i went to the ER once, and felt very embarrassed that my heart attack i thought I was having turned out to be just a bad case of gas! The nurses and doctors told me that I did the right thing by getting checked out, but I still felt pretty silly. Hope you feel better, and that it wasn't anything serious.

Sounds like what I had which turned out to be panic attacks. HOWEVER, heart attacks present very differently in females vs males, and one thing I did learn when I was going through it is how important it is to be checked out if you even suspect a heart attack! My mom had one earlier this year and it did not present at all like a classic male, heaviness in chest attack. Plz see your doctor asap or even go to the ER.

d get back to your doctor asap. Angina from heart can cause chest tightness, chest pain, down the left arm pain, and SHORTNESS of BREATH. Forget the activity. I have angina from non-obstructive big coronaries but have lots of problems with the microvessels of my heart. Go back to doctor before you have a heart attack. Joan.

Take probiotics, yoghurt, curd, Omeprazole (empty stomach in the morning) and avoid smoking, alcohol and spicy oily food. Generally pain on both sides is due to gas and not heart condition. However if this does not help, get a 12 lead EKG done. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined. Take care!

but I got the attack caught on a monitor. The heart doctor told me that the attack was a panic attack.. I couldn't believe it. Im starting to think if the monitor was hooked up right on me.. it seemed like an odd setup the girl put it on with all the connections in a straight line below my left nipple.. Didn't have any connections up high.. But I have to just have confidence the monitor was right and somehow its a weird type of anxiety attack.. He also gave me an echo..

With pain in head, left arm, forearm and wrist, the first thing to be ruled out is a heart condition by a 12 lead EKG. Constipation and gas could be causing pressure on the heart. The other possibility is compression of the spinal nerves in the cervical spine region. This can happen due to overuse of computers, work involving straining of neck, herniated disc, canal stenosis, bone disease, spondylosis, poor posture etc. A MRI of the cervical spine and nerve conduction studies may be required.

Those who received stents did not show a reduction the risk of heart attack, hospitalization for acute coronary syndrome, or the composite of heart attack, stroke and death, but they did have a greater reduction in chest pain than those who received medical therapy alone".

Me being a pretty cautious dude, I searched the internet to try and solve my problems. But when I saw that it was a heart attack symptom my heart sank and I had a panic attack and felt like I was going to die. After I calmed myself down and walked home and told my mum about it. She said that i should I should wait a few days until I go to the doctor. During these days I developed very very minor chest pains, that was when I knew I needed to see a doctor.
