Hi,I am Dr. Carol Rogala (Emergency Medicine). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
When my dad was having a heart attack, he said it felt like an elephant sitting on his chest. Worst pain I have ever seen him in.
See your doctor. you may have acid reflux which my father mistook for the start of another heart attack 2 years after his actual heart attack. So the symptoms must be close.
