Hi.
Thanks for your query, albeit short and specific.
To recapitulate: Female/61 - acute abdominal pain - very painful - palpitation - short trembling breath - lasted for 10 minutes - notd the medical history and medications...
Such type of symptoms can occur in the following situations and should be ruled out asap:
Cardiac cause - Urgent EKG and cardiac evaluation.
Gastric volvulus, although rare - Barium study of stomach in head-low position.
Esophagospasm.
Any other problems that can be seen on clinical evaluation and further investigations.
