Suggest Treatment For Tightness On Throat
Question: Hi. What is heart attack indigestion like ? For the past few days I've had indigestion that comes on for about 10 seconds and then stops..then starts again 5 minutes later.
About a week ago I was having tightness on the right and then left side of my throat.
I went to the hospital. they hooked me up to an EKG machine but the person didn't even check it or take my blood. Do i need to be worried about my symptoms ?

Brief Answer:
Possible causes:GERD/muscular skeletal
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
I have gone through your medical history carefully and I can say all your symptoms are not typical for heart attack.
However, I advise to go to ER in case the pain will get stronger and for longer periods not being improved.
Meanwhile, I advise to ask your doctor to run another:
- ECG
- echocardiogram
- holter monitoring
- stress test
to rule out cardiac problems.
I also advise to run:
- abdominal pain
- chest X-ray
to determine whether your symptoms are from GI problems (e.g. GERD/reflux) or muscular skeletal in origin.
Hope it helped!
