I am a 60 year old woman. i have indigestion and a pain on the left side upper chest could this be a heart attack?

Possibly extra beats: It is always wise to look into any pain above the waist as if it were coming from your heart. At 60 it would be smart to get to a doctor for an ekg and maybe a stress test and an examination. It could just be indigestion, but it would be foolish to ignore your heart.

Possibly: Your symptoms sound more like dysphagia, or difficulty swallowing, which may be due to a stricture or swallowing dysfunction of the esophagus. You should have this evaluated by a gastroenterologist.
