IT CAN BE VERY PAINPUL!

So PAINFUL that these symptoms are often mistaken for a HEART ATTACK!

If that sounds like you, then it is essential to understand the SPECIFIC DIFFERENCES!

# 1 HEARTBURN & ACID REFUX â?? Typical Causes and Symptoms

This condition typically starts with pain occurring right behind the breastbone resulting from stomach acid which refluxes up into the oesophagus.

This pain can be felt as a burning sensation, either as a spasm or a sharp pain. Stomach contents may rise as far as the throat (often described as repeating) and be experienced as regurgitation. It can include a bitter or sour taste at the back of your throat, belching, bloating and early satiety (feeling full too soon).

When severe, it may resemble vomiting or the sensation of having a Heart Attack.

#2 HEART ATTACK â?? Typical Causes and Symptoms

Risk Group: If you are in a specific risk group you are more likely to have a Heart Attack. That group includes: Men, starting from middle age and up; having high blood pressure or high cholesterol in your blood; being overweight, or if you don’t exercise regularly; or if you are a smoker.

Specific Symptoms to Watch For: Chest pain is a major symptom of heart attack; however, some people may have little or no chest pain, especially the elderly and those with diabetes.

Additional symptoms may include – excessive sweating, shortness of breath, nausea, palpitations, faintness, fainting, and severe weakness.

The pain can spread to the shoulders, neck or arms and may be mild to intense. Pain from a heart attack generally lasts for more than 30 minutes, and may continue for several hours. The longer the pain lasts, the greater the risk of muscle damages.

Almost always, heart attacks are life threatening and require immediate attention. Rapid treatment reduces the risk of sudden death and prevents long-term complications.

The Differences: Heart attack pain can sometimes feel like indigestion or heartburn; however, they must be recognised and treated as quickly as possible because once a coronary artery is blocked, the heart muscle will die within four to six hours. Knowing the signs and symptoms are crucial to the most positive outcomes after having a heart attack. Those who survive can work to reduce their risk of another heart attack in the future by closely following the advice of your Medical Professional.
