Indigestion or a heart attack? what to do in the middle of the night

in this video, Dr Sanjay Gupta talks about ways in which you can distinguish between simple indigestion and a heart attack and what to do if you are being troubled with chest pains in the middle of the night and don't know what to do. My website is www.yorkcardiology.co.uk

[@tzukhi]

Just imagine how lucky his patients are ! Very lucky people to have him as a Doctor.

You have helped me immensely. Your matter of fact, calm, and up to date advice has motivated me. I now plan to exercise a bit more and don't feel panicked, when I feel a pain in the area of my chest. You are doing the same for others, as well. In short, you're helping me age gracefully and carefully. You're a giver; a doer; a protector

I'm glad I met you on here when I had an A-Fib episode because I've learned so much about heart health that I wouldn't have bothered to listen otherwise. I've always been told I was healthy so I would not have done anything even though there were a history of heart attacks on my family. Thanks to you, I'll never have that attitude again. You bet you're not wasting your time! You're doing is a service! God bless you!

My husband called the ambulance around 20 times during 2018 because of my chest pain. It was a very bad year for me with a lot of anxiety, loss of my mother, stress. At the ER they checked everything. I stayed over night 2 times. Nothing wrong with my heart. I got transmitted to another hospital where I sat on a bicycle with isotop in my veins, a cardiologist checked my EKG during the whole thing. Then I had to wait before going in to a "tunnel" for 25 minutes where they took 3D pictures of my heart. My veins where clear, my heart was healthy. I have smoked in the past, over 50. Never had alcohol. I'm vegan since 1989, I'm 164 cm my weight today was 55kg. Good blood pressure. Still I get anxious when I get chest pain. Or should I say more anxious then usual. It's embarrassing how many times I've been to the ER. Thank you again for all the great videos. Greetings from Sweden.

I thought I had heartburn at first, but I felt so bad I went to hospital. Calling an ambulance would have been better, but I didn't really believe bullet-proof me would be having a heart attack, even though I was. Echo is normal except for a scar, so I got of lightly. If in doubt calling an ambulance is perfectly reasonable.

Dear Dr. Gupta: I am a 60+ female and last August 8, 2018, I had a heart attack. Quite a shock to me as I exercise at least 5 days a week, watch my diet and have always been very healthy. That morning I did my usual 400 abs, dumbells, planks, squats and by 1:24 p.m. I started feeling pressure in the middle of the upper chest and uncomfortable heartburn. I chewed a 325 mg. aspirin and went to my family doctor who said I should head for hospital. I went home, took a shower and went to hospital where I was told I was having a heart attack and the troponins were at 8% (had no idea what the % was). I was put on Brilinta 90 mgs, to take for a year, Rosuvastatin 40 mgs for 4 mos. and now 20 mgs. and EC Aspirin 81 mgs. for life. Do you think I can be taken off Crestor? Anyway, I tell all the women I know and meet to keep aware of their body signals. I like all your videos. Thank you.

Doc Sanjay excellent video and very informative. I am very thankful to you. You have somewhat eased my mind. 2 months ago I went to hospital with chest pain. The ECG showed it was fine. They kept me at hospital overnight. Blood test A&B both came back negative for heart attack. The doctors told me the pain towards the left of my upper chest and the same place in my back is most likely arthritic pain as I do have rheumatoid arthritis in my major joints. However since then I have had pain in the same place or there about and my arm/shoulder nearly everyday. I am Still a little worried. Now I have asked my doctor that I would like this checked in outpatients as I am due for abdominal surgery in around 10 months time and I'm worried in case I have a heart condition. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance ...

Hello Doc...I had to go to the Hospital not to long ago because of elevated blood pressure and heaviness in the chest. No sharp pain just felt uneasy and a little weak. I finally made it to urgent care and they did ekg. It was normal but I also know that sometimes the ekg can be misleading. He send me to the ER and a cardiac panel was done which showed no enzymes in the blood and I was send home a little later. I had no heart burn or ate spicy food the evening before. They gave me some baby aspirins and send me home.

I’m 57 slightly overweight with acid reflux and pre diabetic. I’ve always attributed the discomfort at night with reflux because it’s always accompanied by severe belching, wakes me up from a deep sleep with a reflex of gasping for air and leaning over side of bed where I throw up acid. This goes away later in the evening close to when I wake up in the morning. What is the relationship between occasional acid reflux as described and the heart and risk of heart attack?

Idk if this will be seen, but I woke up at around 11:40pm and quickly sat up to make my 10 month old her bottle. I went to the bathroom and immediately started feeling pain in my chest. It was really painful. It felt hard to breathe. Bending over helped a little with the pain. I took 3 Tums, but they didn’t help. I made myself throw up, didn’t make me feel any better. I really thought I was experiencing really bad heartburn because I had tacos for dinner at around 3pm and then ate some pizza around 9pm. But, I do vape. I’m severely overweight. I don’t exercise. I’m really scared I might’ve had a heart attack. I’ve felt this pain before (not as bad as this time though). It’s really painful, like I literally cry because of the pain.

The best thing my dad ever told me whenever I had bad pains in my chest, stomach and even my behind, was "It'll be a wandering f*rt" otherwise known as a "WF". I've often had sharp pains so bad it's taken my breath away for a short while and hurts to breath too deeply. I just remember my father's words and the pain does usually go within a minute or two. Get a good burp up if you can (or let one rip out the other end) and you should feel better! I used to hold gas in when I was dating and I got the worst WF pains ever!

It's unlikely that it's related to your heart. However it's always good to get your blood pressure checked and to get your lipid profile checked. It the numbers are okay, then it's probably a cramp or indigestion

This is so hard for me because I deal with anxiety and panic attacks when I feel heart palpitations. Everyone I go in, they do all the test and they come back normal. Last night my husband was working (which already makes me anxious) and I ended up getting a pounding fast heart rate still below 100, right when I fell asleep and it woke me back up. I was so scared that I started shaking and felt like I was jittery through my whole body. When I was shaking I also noticed I was cold but my daughter said it was cold upstairs cause I called her up stairs. I ended up calling down and all the symptoms went away but how do I know it’s anxiety vs a heart attack.

hi I'm melissa for the past months I had fast heart most of the time it's up. well along with this I'm short of breathe at times then all throughout the day I get random stab pains in center of chest then sometimes under left breast. I've been to a cardiogist and got an echo and stress test nothing was found but this all started in august and has gotten worse. trying to figure out if chest.pain is coming from heart problem and sometimes I'm a tad dizzy or feel unsteady. so just kinda wondering what would suddenly bring on all this for a 21 year old because it is taking over my life 😑

Or may be a lung infection or GERD that is acid reflux from ur stomach..Heart attack or angina pain is very spontanious...Also get ur thyroid checked..my wife had sudden palpitations with chest pains and she was diagnosed with hyperthyroid which is very easily managable.

An easy way to see if it;'s indigestion is to drink some milk or eas something that calms your stomach. Several times I was concerned I was having an MI so I drank a small amount of milk or half and half. That usually calms any indigestion and if it doesn't work,, then I would be worried.

Wouldn't taking an antacid first to see if the pain or pressure goes away be a good idea? A Tums isn't going to stop a heart attack, but it could help your heartburn.
