A member asked:

What do you suggest if i am 22 and last night in bed, i had bad pain in centre of chest and couldn't stop burping was it heart attack or not?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: Heart attacks are unlikely in 22 year olds without a prior history of heart disease or drug use. And they don't really cause burping. See a doctor if you are still concerned.
