Doctors always say it's heartburn from pure laziness. I have a damaged ticker...2 valves leak. Undiagnosed heart problems can cause a stroke like what happened to me. Don't rely on the ER that's a nightmare of ignorance unless you are lucky to have a cardio doc doing rounds; they won't do anything. Last moron that said "It's heartburn. You aren't dying. Why are you here?" got a piece of my mind."That's interesting since I have no gall bladder so the amount of acid in my gut is moot. Read the chart. I have a history of heart valve issues and stroke. Why do you think my heart doc prescribed nitro pills? You must have skipped that class where they teach doctors to talk to patients...oh wait...there isn't one."
Just talked to doctor, said it was probably nothing and to not worry too much about it
