Hello. : Hello. I see there is a tag for "chest pain". So i will start by listing some of the symptoms of a mycocardial infarction (heart attack). Chest pain, tightness, squeezing or fullness is the most common presentation. However the pain can also present in the upper back, the upper middle abdomen, jaw, head, teeth or in the arms (left more than right). One could have nausea, vomiting or it could feel like indigestion or heartburn. Feeling short of breath, sweating and just feeling out of sorts can also occur. About a fourth of people have no significant symptoms during a heart attack. However, i also see that most of what you have discussed is about abdominal pain. If you have severe abdominal pain, it should be evaluated by a doctor (preferrably a surgeon). So, if you have chest pain with symptoms suggestive of a heart attack, or if you have severe abdominal pain - you need to be seen asap. If you think you have a heart attack then call 911.
