A member asked:
Ate a lousy fatty lunch today. ugly chest pain in center of chest after eating. no other symptoms. how to tell between gerd and cardiac?

You can't: The only way to know is to do a stress test. What appears to be indigestion can be perfectly mimicked by heart disease. If you're not sure, you should call your doctor or go to an er immediately.
