India, May 10 -- Heartburn and heart attack may feel the same and it is difficult for even an experienced doctor to differentiate them from the symptoms and examination findings, hence the need for urgent tests to rule out a heart attack. Often, long-standing or recurrent 'acidity', 'gastric', 'indigestion', 'chest congestion', bloating, fullness, burping, vomiting sensation, mild stomach pain, burning, or discomfort, is due to causes other than excess acid in the stomach. Mild indigestion can be treated with changes in diet, lifestyle, counselling, and stress reduction, but sometimes it may indicate other health issues requiring diagnostic tests and treatment.

DO NOT IGNORE THESE SYMPTOMS IF

Shortness of breath, sweating, or chest pain...
