Is there any difference between heartburn and chest pain?
It can be very difficult to sort out since cardiac symptoms in women may present differently then the classical symptoms described in men. An excellent experienced cardiologist I knew walked through his own heart attack because he thought it was heartburn! Getting a stress evaluation may be very useful here, with the precise type being deferred to her own physician who knows her well. A medication trial may also be helpful, but less discriminatory since some cardiac and gastrointestinal symptoms are equally relieved by the same medication. Irv Loh, MD READ MORE
