Can Acid Stomach Be Symptom Of Heart Attack?

I woke up last night with acid stomach. It prevented me from going back to sleep, so I got up and ate some cereal to put something in my stomach. I do have reflux and take probiotics every day and this has kept the reflux controlled for several years. Could this be a warning sign of heart attack?

Hi,

Sometimes heart attack can mimic acid stomach. But if you have this problem for some time, and it was a condition you have earlier, there is very low possibility of heart attack. So I would advise you do not worry about heart attack but see your doctor for your stomach problems.

Wishing you good health
