How is it possible to tell the difference between an esophageal spasm and a heart palpitation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Pain: Esophageal spasms are typically painful and prolonged. Palpitations are a skipped heartbeat, usually a mild sensation, and never painful. If you're concerned about the discomfort, see a doctor. There are treatments available, and there's a lot of value to simple reassurance.
