Question

Lately, I've been experiencing a lot of indigestion, especially after eating. My uncle recently had a heart attack, and he said he also felt indigestion beforehand. Is indigestion a possible sign of a heart attack?

Sunita Sharma · Accepted Answer

Yes, atypical symptoms like indigestion, sweating, or jaw pain can indeed be signs of a heart attack, especially in women and diabetics. Please do not ignore this and get an ECG done immediately at the nearest hospital.

Beta, sometimes severe acidity can feel like chest pain. You can try a glass of cold milk, but if there is any heaviness in the left arm or sweating, do not wait for home remedies and go to a doctor immediately.

Meera Sen · Answer

I completely understand how terrifying it is to feel chest discomfort and wonder if it's something fatal. While it's usually just acidity, please get it checked by a doctor right away to put your mind at ease.

Dekho, isme bilkul laparwahi mat karo. Agar thoda bhi dukh rha hai ya pasina aa rha hai, toh turant doctor ke paas jao. Acid hai toh woh toh theek ho jayega, par risk nahi lena chahiye.

I always get so anxious about chest tightness and Google only scares me more. It is true that cardiac issues can sometimes feel like severe indigestion, so please get a quick medical checkup just to be absolutely safe.
