[QUOTE="Lil, post: 683934, member: 17309"] I agree. Anything that could be heart-related needs to be checked. Don't be embarrassed thinking it's anxiety. I once went to urgent care feeling like something was sitting on my chest. After an EKG, a lung capacity test, and a short quiz...they said it was a panic attack. Jabber and I had just returned from our honeymoon...I guess the wedding stress had a delayed reaction. Long story short, I was so relieved and felt so stupid I burst out laughing until I cried. I was fine after that. Once I went to the ER with these mild chest pains. They couldn't find anything, but insisted I stay and have a cardiac stress test. I ran on their stupid treadmill and the test showed a blockage. Two days later I have a cardiac catheterization. No blockage at all - the stress test was a false positive. After all that, the diagnosis was acid reflux. :rolleyes: Yeah...3 days and two serious tests, one of which involved running a wire up my artery...and it was heartburn. But no one ever died from embarrassment or an excess of caution. [/QUOTE]
