Both times mine happened the same way, it starts out feeling like slight heartburn or indigestion and within 5 or ten minutes it has progressed to severe heartburn and pain in chest, followed by severe sweating and left arm aching and sometimes nausea. within 15 minutes it feels like someone has parked a dump truck on your chest and and the feeling of a rope around your chest being tightened tighter and tighter, and you are pouring sweat like a fountain. by this time you better hope your pulling up to the ER door because your time is about up! they need to start a nitroglycerin iv drip immediately in order to dilate your arteries where the blockage is, then insert a stint to hold it open and allow blood flow to resume. if this is not done right away it will starve that part of the heart for oxygen and kill it forever. that’s what happened to me the fist time, i was in cancun and after receiving nitro and feeling much better i continued on with my vacation not knowing that by doing so i had let the bottom halve of my heart die. hospitals in cancun won,t touch a tourist without 10 or 20 thousand cash to put in their hand and still don’t care if you live or die. they love our money but they don’t like us. am very lucky to still be here.

How Can You Distinguish Between A Heartburn Or Chest Pain From A Mild Heart Attack?
September 7th, 2009Are there key symptoms that help differentiate them? I’ve heard that heartburns/chest pains have similar symptoms to a mild heart attack, but before going on to assume anything, is there a way to tell the difference between them? In other words, how do you know if you’re having muscular aches or indigestion problems or acid reflux to something more serious like heart problems showing its early stages and coming in the form of a mild heart attack? I know there aren’t any sure ways to pinpoint what exactly it is before seeing the doctor, but until I can do that, is there a way to differentiate them from one another? Are there different key symptoms for each of the diagnosis I’ve mentioned? Please help me. I’m in kind of a crisis, so please be serious in your answers and don’t use this opportunity to make jokes about my situation. Thanks in advance. 10 points for best answer!
