Question 5

chest pain feels like your being stabbed. is this heart burn?

Accepted Answer

More info: Chest pain can be caused by many things, more specific information would help to narrow down the likely suspects. Heartburn is a term often used to describe indigestion, acid reflux, or just gi-related pain in the lower chest/upper abdomen area. 'burning' is a more common phrase patients use for this pain rather than 'stabbing', which can often be more consistent with pleurisy or chest wall pain.

Question 6

what to do if i have heart burn and wheezing?

Accepted Answer

See full answer: In brief, it is known that significant reflux and regurgitation of stomach contents can kick off and exacerbate an asthma attack.  You need to get better control of your reflux if that is what it is. I would suggest to you that reflux is a structural disease and that surgery in the right setting by the right surgeon will offer much better control than medications.

Accepted Answer

Yes: Reflux and nausea are common side effects of phenytoin (Dilantin). Taking it with a little bit of food may help mitigate this side effect. Hope this helps!

Question 9

is there a relationship between heart burn and heart attack?

Accepted Answer

Sometimes: Heart burn is a description of pain, a burning sensation in the chest. If it is related to exertion, it would be more likely to be a heart problem. If it is related to eating it is more likely to be gastrointestinal. Either way, it is sometimes hard to be sure without testing to exclude the heart so the symptom should be taken seriously and investigated.

Question 10

can levoxyl (thyroxine) cause heart burn if you take it and lay down?

Accepted Answer

Depends.: Levoxyl (thyroxine) does not cause irritation to the stomach.  But it depends on what you took it with and how soon after taking it, unless it was with a small sip of water. It is always best to wait 45 minutes to 1 hour before lying down after significant water intact, or eating.
